The Atlantic had a temporary moment of relief Saturday as Tropical Storm Karl became a post-tropical cyclone early Saturday morning while the odds of another disturbance developing off the coast of Africa moved from low to almost none.
The tropical wave is located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, moving westward at 10 mph. As of 8 a.m. Saturday the wave has a near 0% chance of forming in the next 48 hours and a near 0% chance of forming in the next five days.
“Development of this system is not anticipated,” the center’s advisory said.
Meanwhile, Karl weakened into post-tropical cyclone as its center reached the coast of southern Mexico early Saturday, the center said in a 5 a.m. advisory. It was located about 80 miles west of Ciudad Del Carmen, Mexico, moving southwest at 5 mph with maximum sustained winds reduced to 30 mph.
All tropical storm warnings and watches have been removed.
