Tropical Storm Karl, Threat for Bermuda

Tropical Storm Karl is still battling wind shear and dry air, but is expected to find a more favorable environment to intensify into a hurricane later this week. As of Monday evening, Karl was centered over 800 miles east-northeast of the Leeward Islands.


Karl is expected to become a hurricane somewhere south of Bermuda by Friday. For this reason, residents and visitors of Bermuda should monitor the progress of Karl closely, as it could pass near Bermuda as a hurricane sometime this weekend. Given this, it appears very unlikely Karl will pose a threat to the U.S., other than the eventual generation of large swells reaching the East Coast.
