Tropical Storm Kirk is a large storm with well-established outflow circulation and strong convection around the low-level circulation.  Kirk’s structure is vertically stacked and continues to grow in size.  Deep convection will continue to grow around the low-level center and support steady intensification.  Kirk is moving into a very favorable environment for steady intensification through this week.  In this time period, Kirk may become a powerful hurricane, possibly a category three major hurricane, by the end of the week.  However, a trough moving into the central Atlantic will cause Kirk to turn to the north and remain over the central Atlantic.  At this time, Kirk is not expected to be a threat to the United States.
