745 WTNT41 KNHC 102032 TCDAT1 Post-Tropical Cyclone Karen Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL112025 900 PM GMT Fri Oct 10 2025 Convection associated with Karen has dissipated this evening, leaving the system a swirl of low- to mid-level clouds. The cyclone will be moving over even colder waters of the North Atlantic during the next 12 to 24 hours, and organized convection is not expected to return. Therefore, Karen has lost its designation as a subtropical cyclone, and this will be the last NHC advisory. The initial intensity remains 40 kt, based on earlier ASCAT data. The low should gradually weaken during the next 12 to 24 hours, and it is expected to open up into a trough and be absorbed by an approaching frontal system in 24 to 36 hours. The low is moving north-northeastward or 025 degrees at 14 kt. The system should continue to accelerate north-northeastward ahead of an approaching deep-layer trough through Saturday. The updated NHC track forecast is once again similar to the previous forecast and near the center of the guidance envelope. This is the last NHC advisory on Karen.
