Kirk has not changed much over night since it is moving through a shear environment.
Strong westely and southwesterly wind shear continues to separate the thunderstorms from Kirk's enter of circulation. In fact you can see that on this mornings visible satellite as daylight shines down on Earth.
The center is totally exposed while all the thunderstorms are pushed off to the east of the center. Kirk is forecast to weaken to a depression or an open wave as it moves across the islands if not sooner. Remember a healthy storm system has thunderstorms surrounding the center and this is not happening with Kirk.
However, those colder cloud tops east of center if they don't warm and weaken, will pass over the islands and bring strong Gusty winds to tropical storm force.
Localized heavy rains and squally conditions will spread across the islands later today...RTW
