TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) — Kirk remains as a major hurricane while moving over the open waters of the eastern North Atlantic.
It has highest winds of 130 mph late Friday while moving north-northwest at 13 mph. Its center was located over 1,600 miles west-southwest of the Azores.
The expectation is for Kirk to level off at Category 4 level this weekend before gradually weakening as to moves to the north and northeast through early next week.
The path does not bring Kirk anywhere close to the Big Bend area or the United States as a whole.
