DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Kirk was
located near latitude 14.7 North, longitude 64.7 West. Kirk is
moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h) and this
general motion is expected to continue through tonight.

Data from an Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that the
maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with
higher gusts. Additional weakening is anticipated tonight, and Kirk
will likely degenerate into a trough of low pressure on Saturday.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km)
from the center.

The minimum central pressure indicated by the hurricane hunter plane
was 1007 mb (29.74 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Squalls with wind gusts to tropical-storm force are possible
over the Windward Islands and the southern Leeward Islands today.

RAINFALL: Kirk is expected to produce additional rainfall amounts
of 1 to 2 inches across the northern Windward and southern Leeward
Islands through tonight. Elsewhere, across Saint Croix and eastern
Puerto Rico, Kirk is expected to bring 2 to 4 inches with isolated
maximum totals of 6 inches tonight through Saturday.
