At 700 AM CDT (1200 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Earl was

moving toward the west near 15 mph (24 km/h). A turn toward the

northern Guatemala and southeastern Mexico today, and be near or
over the southern Bay of Campeche Friday night.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 65 mph (105 km/h)
with higher gusts. Additional weakening is expected as the center
moves farther inland, and Earl is forecast to weaken to a tropical
depression by tonight or Friday morning.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km)
to the east of the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.23 inches).
