All intensity estimates are rising, and the initial wind speed is set to 50 kt, near the CIMSS-AiDT and DMINT values. The motion of Kirk is about the same as before, westward at about 10 kt. Very little change was made to the track forecast, with below-average model spread across the entire period due to well-defined steering flow from the subtropical high over the east-central Atlantic. Kirk should gradually move more west-northwestward by tomorrow and turn northwestward midweek, with a north-northwest turn likely by the end of the forecast period. Environmental conditions are forecast to be quite conducive for strengthening during the next several days, with warm waters, a moist mid-level environment and low shear in forecast. Rapid intensification remains a notable possibility if this system can close off its inner core, though the latest microwave data shows that any formative eyewall is still open. Later on, the exact peak intensity is a bit of a mystery, since sometimes these favorable conditions can result in most of the energy going toward producing a large, but not necessarily stronger hurricane. Regardless, all signs point to Kirk becoming quite a large and powerful hurricane, possibly category 4, later this week and remaining intense for days. The new forecast is similar to the previous one and is between the dynamical model consensus and the statistical-dynamical models.

This precludes downgrading Joyce to a post-tropical remnant low with this advisory, though that could happen as early as tonight if the burst does not organize. The intensity of the depression was held at 30 kt for this advisory based on continuity. Joyce has moved very little over the past 12 to 24 hours, but the current motion estimate was held at an uncertain 360/2 kt. The official forecast track shows a slow northward motion until Joyce fully dissipates within 48 h, with little change from the previous track forecast. Continued deep-layer shear and dry air encompassing Joyce is forecast to inhibit additional convection and lead to the cyclone becoming a remnant low soon. The intensity forecast remains unchanged from the previous one, showing Joyce becoming a remnant low in 12 h with dissipation in about 48 h.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 PM EDT Mon Sep 30 2024

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Depression Joyce, located over the central Atlantic Ocean, on
newly formed Tropical Storm Kirk, located over the eastern tropical
Atlantic Ocean and has issued the last advisory on Post-Tropical
Cyclone Isaac.

Northwestern Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico:
A trough of low pressure located over the southwestern Caribbean Sea
continues to produce some disorganized shower and thunderstorm
activity. Environmental conditions could become conducive for
gradual development, and a tropical depression could form in a few
days while the system is over the southern Gulf of Mexico or
northwestern Caribbean Sea. Interests along the U.S. Gulf Coast
should continue to monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
Showers and thunderstorms continue to increase in association with a
tropical wave located a few hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde
Islands. Upper-level winds appear conducive for further
development, and a tropical depression is very likely to form in a
few days while it moves slowly westward over the eastern tropical
Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Issued at 1100 AM AST Mon Sep 30 2024 000 WTNT42 KNHC 301455 TCDAT2 Tropical Storm Kirk Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122024 1100 AM AST Mon Sep 30 2024 Satellite images show an expanding area of central convection near the system with the low-level center on the western side of the deep convection. Microwave data from a few hours ago showed that an inner core is forming, with a partial eyewall noted on an AMSU pass. The initial wind speed is set to 45 kt based on 40-45 kt winds from a pair of recent scatterometer passes. The motion of Kirk appears to be westward at about 10 kt, with the center apparently re-forming to the south within the deeper convection. The track forecast is relatively straightforward, with Kirk expected to follow the south and southwestern edge of the subtropical high over the east-central Atlantic, resulting in a path that gradually gains latitude and Kirk moving northward by this weekend. Other than a small westward adjustment based on the initial motion, the new forecast is very close to the old one. The environment around Kirk appears quite favorable for strengthening during the next several days, with warm waters, a moist environment and low shear in forecast. Given the formation of an inner core, the rate of strengthening has been raised in the short term, and rapid intensification is a distinct possibility. The biggest negative to this system is probably its large size, which could eventually promote eyewall replacement cycles and some SST cooling ahead of the system. Still, almost all of the guidance show Kirk becoming quite a large and powerful hurricane. The new NHC intensity forecast lies between the dynamical model consensus and the statistical-dynamical models, which are quite bullish on this system.

The remaining moderate-to-deep convection has sheared off to the northeast as stable stratocumulus clouds have fully infiltrated its low-level circulation from the west. The initial intensity has been lowered to 50 kt blending the latest subjective and objective measurements. The post-tropical cyclone is still moving east-northeastward at about 065/15 kt. A subtle turn to the northeast is still expected over the next couple of days as the cyclone remains embedded in the mid-latitude westerlies. The guidance has shifted a bit east of the prior forecast track, partially a reflection of the more eastward initial position, and the NHC track was nudged in that direction. Over the forecast period, the cyclone is expected to slowly weaken, lacking baroclinic support for much non-tropical development. The low should ultimately dissipate in the far North Atlantic to the west of Ireland before the end of the week.

A gradual turn to the northwest is forecast by Wednesday. Satellite wind data indicate that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Kirk is likely to become a hurricane by tomorrow and could become a major hurricane by midweek. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1001 mb (29.56 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None.
