NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

800 PM EDT Thu Sep 27 2018

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical

Storm Kirk, centered very near St. Lucia.

Post-Tropical Cyclone Leslie, located over the central Atlantic

Ocean several hundred miles west of the Azores, remains a powerful

non-tropical low with storm-force winds. The associated shower

activity has gradually become better organized around the low's

center since yesterday, and Leslie is expected to again become a

subtropical storm, or possibly a tropical storm, on Friday while it

moves west-southwestward at about 10 mph over the north-central

Atlantic. For more information on this system, see High Seas

Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.

Shower activity has changed little in organization near an area of

disturbed weather located about 300 miles south-southwest of

Halifax, Nova Scotia. This system is expected to merge with a

frontal system and move north-northeastward over increasingly colder

waters overnight, and no additional development is forecast. For

more information on this system, see High Seas Forecasts issued by

the National Weather Service.

* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.

* Formation chance through 5 days...low...near 0 percent.
