Kirk continues to gradually weaken as it tracks into a hostile shear environment near the Lesser Antilles and the Eastern Caribbean. I mentioned this in my previous afternoon update. Air Force Recon found rising pressure around 0800 PM EDT and now a weaker tropical storm at 11 PM EDT.
Satellite shows another small burst of convection as Kirk makes another attempt at reorganization and a temporary strengthening. This won't last long as relentless wind shear begins to separate the colder cloud tops from the center of circulation. As the storm system weakens the wind field expands in coverage.
Squally conditions and localized heavy rains will begin to spread across the islands as early as tomorrow evening...RTW
