The Tropics:
Tropical Storm Kirk is strengthening at a pretty quick pace. It has winds of 60 mph and is moving west at 12 mph. Kirk is forecast to strengthen into a Hurricane by mid-week as it moves northwest through the Atlantic. Future Kirk poses no direct impact to land at this time.
Tropical Depression Joyce is barley hanging on as a tropical cyclone. It has winds of 35 mph and is moving north at 2 mph. Joyce will post-tropical in the next 12-24 hours.
Isaac is now a post-tropical system.
A trough of low pressure located over the southwestern Caribbean Sea continues to produce some disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Environmental conditions could become conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression could form in a few days while the system is over the southern Gulf of Mexico or northwestern Caribbean Sea. Interests along the U.S. Gulf Coast should continue to monitor the progress of this system.
Showers and thunderstorms continue to increase in association with a tropical wave located a few hundred miles south of the Cabo Verde Islands. Upper-level winds appear conducive for further development, and a tropical depression is very likely to form in a few days while it moves slowly westward over the eastern tropical Atlantic.
