Tropical Storm Karen formed this morning and is nearing hurricane strength in the far southern Gulf of Mexico.
• A general northerly motion should continue through the next 36-48 hours, with a curve to the northeast this weekend. The eventual landfall location is still uncertain. Monitor the forecast closely!
• A Hurricane Watch is in effect from Grand Isle, LA to Indian Pass, FL. This includes portions of Walton, Bay, and Gulf Counties. Possible impacts:
• Strong winds possible near and to the east of the track of the center of the storm.
• Above normal tides with storm surge along the Panhandle and Big Bend coast, including Apalachee Bay.
• Heavy rainfall possible, particularly in training feeder bands to the east of the center of Karen.
• Timing: Impacts this weekend, mainly Saturday Night and Sunday
