TS Karina has formed to the south of Baja California. The storm is quite small but has deep convection over the tightly wound centre. Shear is affecting the system, and because of this, any strengthening is expected to be modest. Beyond 36hrs, waters cool on Karina's westwards track and weakening should begin. Due to Karina's size, it is not expected to bring adverse weather to southern Baja California, and as she moves away westwards any risk of this happening decreases.

Easterly shear is displacing convection to the west of Karina's centre, which is now partially exposed. As shear is expected to remain strong, strengthening is not anticipated. Beyond 48hrs, Karina's westward motion will bring it over cooler waters which will bring about her demise.

It dosn't appear to have enougth time to build that much strength before it reaches the west coast! Although some maps can be diseptive so it's probably alot further than it looks! At the moment I can't see this developing into a hurricane, but it might produce storm force winds nonetheless! :)

It's moving WEST, so it won't go anywhere near the coast.

And indeed Cookie, you're right, Karina's brief life is over.
