There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Kirk was located
near latitude 20.0 North, longitude 45.0 West. Kirk is moving
toward the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h), and this general motion
is expected to continue through early Friday. A turn toward the
north and north-northeast at a faster forward speed is forecast
over the weekend.
Maximum sustained winds are near 120 mph (195 km/h) with higher
gusts. Kirk is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson
Hurricane Wind Scale. Some strengthening is forecast during the
next day or so.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 185 miles
(295 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 955 mb (28.20 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Kirk are spreading westward and are
expected to reach portions of the Leeward Islands on Friday,
Bermuda and the Greater Antilles on Saturday, and the east coast
of the United States and the Bahamas on Sunday. These swells are
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
Please consult products from your local weather office.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 AM EDT Thu Oct 3 2024
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Kirk, located over the central tropical Atlantic Ocean, and on
recently upgraded Tropical Storm Leslie, located over the eastern
tropical Atlantic Ocean.
Gulf of Mexico:
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms over portions of the Gulf of
Mexico are associated with a surface trough. A broad area of low
pressure is likely to develop over the Gulf of Mexico late this
weekend or early next week, but subsequent tropical or subtropical
development could be limited by the system's potential interaction
with a frontal boundary. Regardless of development, locally heavy
rains could occur over portions of Mexico during the next few days
and over portions of the Florida Peninsula next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.
&&
Public Advisories on Leslie are issued under WMO header WTNT33 KNHC
and under AWIPS header MIATCPAT3. Forecast/Advisories on Leslie
are issued under WMO header WTNT23 KNHC and under AWIPS header
MIATCMAT3.

Hurricane Kirk Discussion Number 15
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122024
1100 PM AST Wed Oct 02 2024
Kirk has undergone an impressive period of rapid intensification
over the past 24 h. Recent satellite imagery showed a ragged eye,
with multiple deep bursts of convection rotating in the eyewall.
Overshooting tops are obscuring the eye now, but it would not be
surprising if it clears again soon. As noted in the special
advisory, the subjective Dvorak satellite estimates have climbed but
were constrained. The initial intensity is nudged up to 110 kt for
this advisory, closest to the T6.0 data-T number from SAB. The
hurricane has strengthened 55 kt since 0300 UTC last night, which
means Kirk lands at a Category 3 on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
The hurricane continues to be steered by the subtropical ridge to
the northwest at an estimated 310/9 kt. Little has changed in the
track forecast reasoning. On Friday night or Saturday, Kirk is
expected to gradually turn north-northwestward to northward and
accelerate in the flow between a deep-layer trough and the weakening
subtropical ridge. Later in the weekend, Kirk is expected to
continue accelerating north-northeastward to northeastward. Few
changes have been made to the latest official track forecast, which
lie close to various consensus aids.
Given Kirk's recent rapid intensification, conditions appear
conducive for further strengthening during the next day or so. The
short-term forecast is therefore above all of the guidance now,
peaking at 130 kt in 24 h. By Friday, the vertical wind shear is
expected to increase and gradually weaken Kirk through the remainder
of the forecast period. As the hurricane moves more poleward,
Kirk's tropical-storm-force winds are predicted to grow and send
large swell westward to the northern Leeward Islands and the Bahamas
over the weekend.

There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Kirk was located
near latitude 19.5 North, longitude 44.5 West. Kirk is moving toward
the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h), and this general motion is
expected over the day or so with a gradual turn to the
north-northwest and north by this weekend.
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 125 mph (205 km/h)
with higher gusts. Kirk is a category 3 hurricane on the
Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Strengthening is forecast over
the next couple of days.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 220 miles
(350 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 952 mb (28.12 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
SURF: Swells generated by Kirk are beginning to spread outward and
could affect portions of the Leeward Islands and Bermuda by this
weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and
rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local
weather office.

Tropical Storm Leslie Discussion Number 3
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132024
1100 PM AST Wed Oct 02 2024
Geostationary satellite and microwave images indicate that the
system has become better organized with convective bands wrapping
about two-thirds of the way around the center. A partial ASCAT pass
from around 2230 UTC showed winds very close to tropical storm
force northeast of the center. Since the system has continued to
become organized since the ASCAT pass, the initial intensity is
increased to 35 kt, making the cyclone Tropical Storm Leslie.
This intensity estimate is also in agreement with a 2.5 Dvorak
classification from TAFB.
Leslie is moving slowly to the west at about 5 kt. A continued slow
westward to west-northwestward motion is expected during the next 2
to 3 days as Leslie remains steered by a weak mid-level ridge to its
north. Beyond that time, a slightly faster motion to the northwest
is predicted as the storm moves on the western periphery of the
ridge and approaches a broad trough over the central Atlantic. The
models are in fair agreement overall, and the NHC track forecast
lies near the middle of the guidance envelope.
Leslie is currently in a moderate wind shear environment due to the
outflow from major Hurricane Kirk to its northwest. However, the
shear is expected to lessen while Leslie remains over warm waters
and in a moist environment. These condition should support steady
strengthening during the next few days, and the official intensity
forecast is a little higher than the previous one. Beyond a few
days, Leslie is predicted to move over Kirk's prior track and
associated cool wake, and into a slightly drier air mass. These
conditions could cause the intensity to level off. The new
forecast is in best agreement with the latest HCCA guidance.
