NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical Storm Kirk, located over the eastern Caribbean Sea.
1. Post-Tropical Cyclone Leslie is located over the central Atlantic Ocean, several hundred miles west of the Azores. Shower activity has gradually increased near the center of the cyclone since last night and Leslie is expected to once again become a subtropical storm later today or tomorrow. Earlier satellite data indicated that the powerful low is producing storm-force winds that extend several hundred miles from the center, and Leslie will likely
continue producing strong winds and high seas over a large portion of the central Atlantic for the next few days regardless of when it completes its transition to a subtropical storm. For more information on this system, see High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
