A new tropical storm has formed in the southern Gulf of Mexico, very close to the tip of the Yucatán Peninsula, and has been named Karen. Already with winds of 65mph, Karen has a fair chance of becoming the third hurricane of the Atlantic Hurricane Season as it approaches the Gulf Coast of the United States.
Whilst sea surface temperatures are conducive to development, increasing wind shear will probably result in the storm weakening before landfall, however, the threat and possibility of a hurricane landfall should be taken seriously.
