Is another hurricane coming after Helene? Tracking Tropical Storm Kirk
SUMMARY: The Atlantic remains active as we approach the end of September, with several weather events unfolding. Tropical Storm Kirk formed recently and is expected to strengthen into a major hurricane, but it poses no threat to the U.S. Meanwhile, a disorganized disturbance in the southwestern Caribbean is projected to move north, potentially developing into a storm in the Gulf this weekend. Although this system appears weaker than recent storms like Halen, its impacts could still be significant due to earlier landfalls. The next names on the hurricane list are Leslie and Milton, warranting close monitoring.
There is more activity in the tropics after Helene devastated the southeastern part of the U.S. FOX 4’s Dylan Federico takes a look at the expected path of Tropical Storm Kirk and other potential storms.
