Three Atlantic hurricanes are currently churning, with two of them--both major Category 3 storms--prompting the National Hurricane Center (NHC) to issue warnings or watches.

Hurricane Karl, in the Gulf of Mexico, was about 50 miles off the coast of Veracruz, Mexico as of the NHC's 7:00 a.m. EDT update. A hurricane warning is in effect for the coast of Mexico, from Veracruz to Cabo Rojo. A hurricane watch has been issued north of Cabo Rojo to La Cruz, and a tropical storm warning is in effect south of Veracruz to Punta El Lagarto.

The NHC said the storm will make landfall "later today" and move further inland tonight and tomorrow. The storm, already a Category 3, is expected to strengthen a little more before making landfall.
