Meteorological conditions

Tropical Storm Kirk is approaching the Lesser Antilles on Thursday moving west at an approximate speed of 26 km/h. Its minimum central pressure is 1002 millibars and it has maximum sustained winds of 85 km/h, with higher gusts. The convection associated with this system has become more symmetric during the last hours. Under current forecasts, Kirk will be moving over the Lesser Antilles on Thursday night, entering the eastern Caribbean on Friday. It is estimated that it will not change its intensity as it passes through the Antilles, but will be weakening as it advances over the Caribbean Sea, until it becomes a tropical depression.

Over the Gulf of Mexico and the seas of the Straits of Florida a flow of trade winds of weak to moderate will continue during the coming days.

For the North Atlantic, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, the probability of tropical cyclone formation will be low for the next 5 days.
