The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two more tropical cyclones growing stronger in the Atlantic on Thursday. Hurricane Kirk and Tropical Storm Leslie currently pose no direct threat to land, but threaten to bring more rain to regions already reeling in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. Kirk was upgraded to hurricane status Tuesday night and is now a Category 3 storm, but is expected become stronger over the next few days, according to the NHC.
East Coast could see life-threatening surf and rip current conditions as swells from Kirk start spreading westward. Leslie reached tropical storm status Wednesday night and is expected to continue moving slowly westward through Thursday night, followed by a quicker west-northwestward movement over the weekend, according to the NHC.
