1. Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic (AL90):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with an elongated area of low
pressure located a few hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo
Verde Islands have become better organized since yesterday.
Environmental conditions are conducive for gradual development of
this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form during the
early or middle part of this week while the system initially moves
westward and then northwestward across the eastern and central
tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

Viendo las condiciones favorables.... éste no baja de un pico de 120-125kts.

Yo estaria al loro con el señor Kirk, podria llegar a la peninsula el finde del Pilar, creo que va a tener pasillo abierto por Azores, no seria la tipica ex que enfila hacia las islas britanicas...

KIRK ya es Huracán 75kts-980mb



Pico de 110 kts

Favorable environmental conditions are forecast to continue for the
next 60 to 72 hours as Kirk travels over warm sea-surface
temperatures and within a relatively moist environment with weak
deep-layer vertical wind shear.

Pues acaba de poner la tercera y ya es categoría 3, RI en las últimas horas.

Hurricane Kirk Special Discussion Number 14 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122024 800 PM AST Wed Oct 02 2024 Kirk is undergoing rapid intensification this evening. Geostationary satellite imagery has shown an eye clearing and Dvorak estimates are rising as quickly as they are allowed. The initial intensity is set to a possibly conservative 105 kt, closest to the final-T number (T5.5) from TAFB. The intensity forecast has been increased between 12 through 48 h. No changes were made to the intensity forecast beyond 60 h, or the track and wind radii predictions. The next forecast will be released at the normally scheduled time (11 PM AST).

Pico de 125KT.....

KIRK ha pasado de tener:

5pm: 80kts
8pm: 105kts

25kts en 3h de Rapid Intensification.

También se trata del mayor situado más al Este del Oceáno Atlántico en un mes de Octubre, en 44.3W.

Actualmente tenemos 110kts-952mb, un incremento de 55kts en 20h.



Pico de 130kts en 24h

Given Kirk's recent rapid intensification, conditions appear
conducive for further strengthening during the next day or so.  The
short-term forecast is therefore above all of the guidance now,
peaking at 130 kt in 24 h.  By Friday, the vertical wind shear is
expected to increase and gradually weaken Kirk through the remainder
of the forecast period.

Llegar no llegará, pero la regada para la fachada atlántica, será bonita

O a lo mejor si llega... 



Mantiene intensidad aunque luce mejor aspecto. Mañana es el día para lograr el pico

Kirk is now a category 4 major hurricane
on Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

115kts-945mb

Pico de 125kts, los cuales diría que ya ha conseguido.

No descarto la Cat.5 durante las próximas 24hrs, pero viendo como ha ido fluctuando ultimamente, igual un ERC lo impide.

Pero 130-135kts si que los conseguirá. "ACE maker" en toda regla.

125kts-935mb



Dvorak está marcando 140kts; yo creo que 135kts si que le darán en el próximo parte.

Kirk continues to prosper.  The earlier eyewall replacement cycle
appears to have completed, and Kirk is back on a strengthening
trend.  Satellite images indicate that Kirk has a circular and
clear 15 n mi eye surrounded by a solid ring of intense deep
convection.  The latest satellite intensity estimates range from
115 to 135 kt, and based on that data, the initial wind speed is
increased to 125 kt.

Decision salomónica 

Satellite intensity estimates peaked overnight, and there is
evidence of some restriction of Kirk's upper-level outflow to the
west of the hurricane in recent satellite images.

Parece que ha tocado techo. Tiene muy buen aspecto

Parece que ha tocado techo. Tiene muy buen aspecto

En efecto, disminuye algo la intensidad aunque aun mantiene cómodamente la Categoría 4...
