MEXICO CITY (AP) — Tropical Storm Karl moved slowly toward Mexico’s southern Gulf coast on Friday, and while it was not expected to grow into a hurricane, forecasters warned of the danger of flash floods from heavy rains in the region.
The storm was expected to make landfall in Veracruz state or Tabasco state by late Friday or early Saturday.
Karl had maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (75 kph) on Friday morning, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said. The storm was centered about 80 miles (130 kilometers) northwest of Ciudad del Carmen and headed south-southeast at 7 mph (11 kph).
A tropical storm warning was in effect from Coatzacoalcos to Sabancuy.
