Hurricane Season Isn't Over

The extreme storminess in Central America has resolved itself into a new storm - Tropical Storm Karl - that is now circling around the Gulf of Mexico's Bay of Campeche, near the Mexican coast. Karl isn't showing any signs of coming east to Florida, but the storminess is likely to linger in the Bay of Campeche for a long time, which will be a problem for Veracruz, and other places in Mexico. Model forecasts are now showing no particular impact in Texas (although they will get some unrelated rain next week). 

I hope Karl dissipates quickly. The longer it persists, the greater danger it poses.
