Tropical Storm Karl Forms

Karl is expected to track towards Cancun and end up in Mexico.  Winds are sustained at 40 mph.

Hurricane Earl continues to lose strength.

Two big weather features for Friday.  The cold front across Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas heads in our direction while Hurricane Earl is tracking ENE and will likely be downgraded to a Category 1 hurricane soon.  Tropical Storm force wind gusts are being felt in the Outer Banks of North Carolina now.
