Karl is about 215 miles (350 km) east-southeast of Tuxpan, Mexico, with maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour (65 km per hour), and is expected to turn west and west-southwest on Wednesday evening, approaching the coast of Mexico on Thursday.
Weakening is expected by Thursday, the Miami-based forecaster added.
