UNISYS Vorticity Satellite (click here for loop - thank you)

There is still plenty of vorticity in the water vapor system off the Carolina coast. It has waxed and waned (otherwise known as oscillated) for the past 24 hours and it has not dissipated.


I am not alone in the estimate regarding the Carolina coast.

Kirk's remnants (click here) continue to spin westward through the Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center gives the remnants a 60% chance of redeveloping.

Meteorologist Travis Herzog says even if Kirk does redevelop, it will more than likely succumb to high wind shear that persists over the Caribbean Sea, getting torn apart before ever threatening the Gulf of Mexico.

Hurricane season ends November 30, but Travis says Texas's hurricane season normally ends by mid-October as the fall fronts push any tropical systems away from the western Gulf.
