Hurricane Kirk Is Back In The Atlantic

MIAMI - The National Hurricane Center In Miami reports,  hurricane KIRK is ACCELERATING NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD OVER OPEN WATERS... LARGE SWELLS ARE PRODUCING AN INCREASED RISK OF LIFE-THREATENING RIP CURRENTS ALONG THE U.S. EAST COAST. 

Forecasters say, As of  1100 AM AST, the center of Hurricane Kirk was located near latitude 35.6 North, longitude 47.7 West. Kirk is moving toward the northeast near 25 mph, with  An acceleration toward the northeast and east-northeast is expected over the next few days while Kirk moves across the northeastern Atlantic. Maximum sustained winds are near 100 mph, with higher gusts. Although weakening is expected through midweek, Kirk will remain a large hurricane for the next next day or so before transitioning to an extratropical cyclone by Monday night. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 290 miles. The estimated minimum central pressure is 960 mb (28.35 inches).               SURF: Swells generated by Kirk are affecting the Leeward Islands, Bermuda, the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, and the east coast of the United States. These swells will continue spreading northward along the east coast of the United States and Atlantic Canada today, and to the Azores on Monday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
