Karl which was a tropical storm meandering over the Bay of Campeche this past week is now post-tropical, losing its tropical characteristics. Karl has been battling substantial upper level wind shear and is now spinning down as it drifts southwest.

The National Hurricane Center issued its last advisory on the storm Saturday morning, but the remnant low could still produce heavy rain, flash flooding and mudslides over portions of southern Mexico this weekend.

Elsewhere in the tropics, things remain fairly quiet with no formation expected over the next several days. We’ll continue to monitor the Caribbean, which is a common breeding ground in the month of October. The next name on the list is Lisa.
