Hurricane Kirk continues to strengthen in the Atlantic Ocean and could bring strong waves to the East Coast of the United States by Sunday, according to the National Hurricane Center.

The hurricane center said in a statement Thursday morning that Kirk was about 1,130 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands and was expected to continue moving northwest through early Friday. A turn to the north and north-northeast with higher forward speed is forecast for the weekend.

Although Kirk is expected to turn north and remain over the open Atlantic, the NHC said the storm could cause “life-threatening surf and rip current conditions” affecting parts of the Leeward Islands on Friday, Bermuda and the Greater Antilles on Saturday could achieve. and the east coast of the United States and the Bahamas on Sunday.

The hurricane center is also keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Leslie, which continues to strengthen.

NHC is also monitoring the system in the Gulf of Mexico

The NHC is also keeping an eye on a “wide area of low pressure” that is expected to develop over the Gulf of Mexico late this weekend or early next week.

A surface trough is currently producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms over portions of the Gulf of Mexico. However, this system’s subsequent tropical or subtropical development could be limited by its possible interaction with a frontal boundary, the NHC said Thursday morning.

“Regardless of developments, locally heavy rainfall could occur over the next few days in parts of Mexico and next week in parts of the Florida Peninsula,” the NHC said.
