What happened
The U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) has stated that Hurricane Karina is expected to undergo rapid weakening in the lead-up to early next week.
The announcement indicates a significant change in the storm's expected intensity over the coming days.
Why it matters
If the forecast holds, the rapid weakening could diminish the hazards typically associated with a hurricane, potentially reducing risks for areas that might be affected.
Still, the NHC's projection is a reminder that weather conditions can shift, and continued monitoring of the storm remains important until the weakening actually occurs.

What to watch next
Future NHC advisories will likely show whether Karina's intensity follows the predicted downward trend.
The timing and pace of the weakening could become clearer as new updates are released.
