Karen has lost its battle with dry air and disruptive wind shear. The once-strong tropical storm weakened to a tropical rainstorm midday Sunday.
Despite weakening, the center of Karen will churn eastward near the coast of the upper Gulf Coast through Monday before moving into the northern Florida Peninsula.
The main impact of Karen during that time will be to spread drenching showers and thunderstorms onto the upper Gulf Coast from far southeastern Louisiana to the northwestern peninsula of Florida.
These showers and thunderstorms will continue to occur east of Karen's center and on Monday will be confined to Florida as the rest of the upper Gulf Coast dries out.
Also through Monday, some of the moisture from Karen will get drawn northward andenhance the rain accompanying a cold front spreading from the Midwest to the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Flooding, especially in low-lying and poor drainage areas, is a concern.
