Karen is the 11th named storm of the 2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season and could cause flash flooding and mudslides.
While Tropical Storm Karen isn't forecasted to make landfall, it could bring heavy wind and rain to multiple islands, potentially causing flash flooding.
While the National Hurricane Center forecasted some fluctuations in Karen's strength, the organization did not expect it to strengthen enough to become a hurricane. To become a hurricane in accordance with the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which categorizes storms, the system must have at least 74-miles-per-hour maximum sustained winds.
Although the storm wasn't forecasted to make landfall, tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles. Ahead of the storm's passing, the NHC issued a Tropical Storm Warning for the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico and a Tropical Storm Watch for the British Virgin Islands.
