Tropical Weather Forecast - October 13, 2022

Halfway through October, tropics are still active with Tropical Storm Karl still churning in the southern Gulf of Mexico. It has made the turn south towards southeast Mexico and will likely make landfall as a weak tropical storm Friday night, then quickly dissipate by Saturday. It will still bring the threat for flooding and mudslides to parts of southern Mexico including Veracruz. Another tropical wave in the far east Atlantic has a very low 20% chance for development over the next 5 days as it heads west around 5-10 mph.
