Hurricane 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 will 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 by this weekend. At this time, Kirk is not expected to be a threat to the United States.
