Tropical Storm Karl is expected to make a southward turn off Mexico’s southern Gulf coast on Wednesday and approach land by the weekend without gaining hurricane strength.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Karl had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph Wednesday. It was centered about 200 miles north-northeast of the port city of Veracruz and was still moving north at 3 mph.
COLD WEATHER FORECAST TO MOVE OVER NORTHEAST, BRINGING HEAVY RAIN
The center said that while Karl may move northward a while longer, atmospheric conditions are likely to reverse it back towards Mexico's southern Gulf coast, where it could reach land by Friday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extended outward up to 105 miles from the center.
The hurricane center said Karl could bring up to 12 inches of rain to isolated parts of Veracruz and Tabasco states.
