STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- NEW: Karen no longer a tropical cyclone, top winds drop to 30 mph
- The storm is blowing eastward in the Gulf of Mexico
- Karen could leave 1 to 3 inches of rain in parts of the central Gulf Coast and Southeast
After being downgraded
from a tropical storm to a depression overnight, Karen broke up into
disorganized remnants south of Louisiana, the Miami-based National
Hurricane Center said. Top sustained winds had fallen to about 30 mph,
and the system was blowing east without a well-defined center, the
hurricane center reported.
The storm was still
expected to drop between 1 and 3 inches of rain over the central Gulf
Coast and Southeast through Monday, raising the possibility of localized
coastal flooding, but all storm warnings were discontinued late
Saturday.
Karen formed on Thursday
between Cuba and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula with 65-mph winds. By
Friday, its top winds had fallen to 40 mph, and forecasters said it
wouldn't develop into a hurricane.
