I hate to disagree and I am not wishcasting by any means. The models are just that...models, but they are coming into agreement late in the period and that not only is there a turn west, but now a WSW component on the and UKMET. This is something that should not be dismissed. The answer is we just dont know, but when the models start lining up, they are perhaps seeing something we might be missing. Dont anyone let their guard down on this one. Dont panic by any means this far out...just stay tuned to this and other avenues of information as they become available. Smart people stay informed and then act appropriately...ok, I'm done with the soapbox...someone elses turn. Here is a link to the latest model run if its not listed here...

Here's my thought if it moves more westward like a few of those models were suggesting, if it does so it may be a much more sheared system, in fact it may cease to be Karen, if it does the remains could slip further westward and then could potentially form into something else. Ie, dissipating then reforming.
Ie, the stronger Karen remains the further north it will go, if it remains weak or falls apart it would likely slip further west. I do think the models are letting go of shear too early.
Chances are still pretty high this misses land altogether, and that is good news.

When Karen formed as far east as it did, I would have said the chances of it being a worry for anyone other than shipping interests and sea creatures to be 1 in 100. Now, based on its survival to this point and the ridging outlook for next week, I would say more like 1 in 10. It should be interesting to see what Karen looks like by Monday after it's encountered a few days of brutal shear.

Karen is yet again a naked swirl on the latest visible.. I expect regeneration as it's been happening everyday with this storm. Most models are back to restrengthening it at the end of the runs and missing this so called trough that few models are developing to curve it. We'll see what happens with Karen, this weekend is when we should find out the fate or the pace of karen.

Last advisory is just now issued on Karen, yet we have NOT seen the last of it as shear has weakened from 50 knots to 25-30 knots today. I agree with them, no circulation now, but most models believe Karen is going to make a huge comeback in about 2 to 3 days, again, we'll see.. models can be models, I do see conditions improving by then. Melissa should pose no threat to us, a very slight chance it will pose a threat to Bermuda, anythings possible, always got to remember that. That area in the Bahamas, still do not believe it will pull whatever Karen has left to the north, but again, we'll see. Until I see total dissipation (no convection) with Karen, I will continue my daily runs with it and will continue to moniter for regeneration in a few days.

Karen is dead and will be a remnant low in 24 hours, but is leaving some wiggle room on the numerical models. It is a very elongated mess right now and I can see why they are issuing the last advisory on it. She's beat like a rented mule.

I was looking at the Canadian 12Z run at the FSU site. Looks like it might have been hitting some good Canadian beers. Check out the 144 hour mark. Looks like it wants to revive Karen and blast Key West.

Yep, thank heaven for the site. Was really getting worried seeing "ex-Karen" firing up each day. Now after 's late run today depicting a Cat. 5 over Key West......, only now can I truly sleep at night; comforted by the fact that given 's latest prediction, that there now could be ABSOLUTELY no chance of such an event from happening. Note: Should tonight's 0Z run suddenly "drop" Karen altogether, be afraid......BE VERY AFRAID! ( lol )
