TROPICAL UPDATE SEPT 25, 2018... 1141 AM EDT


Remnants of Kirk are still producing strong thunderstorms, however Kirk is still moving to fast 25 mph for rapid development.  If Kirk slows down before reaching hostile conditions near the Lesser Antilles, then Kirk could regain tropical storm status. 

Interest in the Lesser Antilles should monitor the progress of Kirk as Gusty winds and heavy rains will be moving through the Islands in the coming days...RTW

Leslie will become a post tropical in a day or so and a new low will develop making Leslie a strong sub-tropical cyclone in the north Central Atlantic.  This storm system remains stuck in a weak steering environment and will continue to meander.  Only a threat to shipping...RTW

Invest 98L is getting close to the outer banks.  This system is encountering dry air and upper level shear along the west quadrant.  Sea surface temps are also cooler in this area due to Florence had slowly passed over this area.  Rip currents windy conditions affecting the coast but heavy rains remain off shore.  You can't rule out some showers and storms along the outer Banks...RTW
