Tropical Depression Karl and Tropical Storm Lisa remain well out to sea and pose no threat to the USA with any new tropical development not expected over the next five days.

Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Lisa, which also wasn’t a threat to the US, was moving northwest in the far Atlantic.
Also in the Atlantic, Tropical Storm Karl’s maximum sustained winds were holding steady at 40 miles per hour (65 kph) and the storm was moving westward at 14 miles per hour (20 kph) late Tuesday.
As per the present scenario, neither of the storm is posing threat to land.
The official forecast from the National Hurricane Center does call for Karl to restrengthen to a tropical storm and possibly a hurricane. Lisa is expected to strengthen Wednesday, but it is projected to begin getting weaker by Thursday.
As of early Monday, the tropical storm was churning southwest of the Baja, California area at winds of up to 90 miles per hour.
“If Karl re-curves northeast quickly, it will pass south and southeast of Bermuda and cause minimal impacts”, Kottlowski said. Karl is expected to stay out to sea.
Watch WJCL with Chief Meteorologist Jeff Kirk tonight at 5p, 6p, 7p and 11p for any further developments with Karl and Lisa.
Lisa is the 12th named storm of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season.
Models generally agree that Lisa will continue its track to the northwest and find itself in a very hostile environment this weekend, so it is forecast to weaken and dissipate in the central Atlantic.
