Don't think I ever saw a best track get revised twice. Kirk is sure intensifying fast!

New advisory says 50 knots not 55. Maybe it was an error?

I guess i must be missing something ... typically a persistent eye feature normally leads to a hurricane... the discussion however is somewhat the opposite. we have a CDO and a eye.. this is not a 60mph TS. not only that is pretty close to being an annular system.

I have the feeling that Kirk could be the first major hurricane of the season, small systems can intensify (or weaken) faster than big ones like 2010 Julia. Kirk has been steadily intensifying in a rather unfavorable environment so it could intensify rapidly when it reaches the favorable conditions.

track looks a little (emphasis on little) like Katia last year. People in Iceland, Scotland, Scandinavia should keep an eye on this system. :double:

I can see why hurricane hunters are reluctant to fly out there... almost 2000 miles away from Biloxi! :lol:

Tasty little system, eyewall has beefed up big time in the last few hours, RI probably going on at the moment. I think here we have a real candidate for a major hurricane...

I agree with you, like I said yesterday if it finds good conditions it could intensify rapidly as it's a small system.

I had a feeling "Kirk" was going to be a little storm but it is a nice looking storm though.

I'm not sure how big the cloud canopy is, but the wind field sure is small.

HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 10 MILES...20 KM...FROM
THE CENTER...AND TROPICAL-STORM-FORCE WINDS EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 70
MILES...110 KM.
