Karen was a subtropical storm in the North Atlantic Ocean Friday morning Eastern time, the National Hurricane Center said in its latest advisory. Karen is the 11th named storm to form in the Atlantic in 2025.

If the cyclone features maximum sustained wind speeds of at least 39 mph, it is a subtropical storm. The NWS website cautioned, “There is no such thing as a subtropical hurricane. If a subtropical storm intensifies enough to have hurricane force winds, than it must have become fully tropical.”

Karen popped up at the same latitude as Minneapolis, while Jerry douses the Northern Leeward Islands, Priscilla threatens to drench the U.S. Southwest, and an unnamed storm slams the Mid-Atlantic coast.
