Recent satellite data received after issuing the latest advisory indicates that Kirk does not have a surface circulation. Therefore, the National Hurricane Center has downgraded Kirk to an open tropical wave.

There is a 30 percent chance of redevelopment into a tropical depression or a tropical storm as it moves toward the Windward Islands. Regardless of redevelopment, Kirk is expected to bring gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall to the Windward Islands on Thursday.

This is our final advisory on Kirk unless it appears likely that Kirk will regenerate
