The latest advisory from the NHC is just in and maintains Karl as a 65 mph tropical storm. The center of Karl is within an hour or two of making landfall in northern Belize and the southern part of the Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. Karl will likely weaken today as it crosses the Yucatan (heavy, flooding rain likely there later today) and restrengthen starting tomorrow as it reemerges out over the Bay of Campeche. It is possible Karl will be a hurricane when it makes its second landfall on the east coast of mainland Mexico late Friday night or Saturday.
