Tropical Storm Karen is beginning to weaken as a result of moderate wind shear coupled with a mass of dry air directly to the west of the storm. Karen is expected to pass close or make landfall in Louisiana as a moderate tropical storm, before ultimately making landfall in Alabama or Florida as a weakening tropical storm. Since Karen is already beginning to struggle with its environment, it is reasonable to suggest that she will barely be a tropical storm by landfall. However, vigilance is still advised, and hurricane watches are still in effect along large parts of the coast.
