#941658 (Received by flhurricane at: 10:38 AM 24.Sep.2018) TCDAT2 Remnants Of Kirk Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL122018 1100 AM AST Mon Sep 24 2018 Analysis of the directional ambiguities from a recent ASCAT scatterometer overpass indicated that the system lacks the closed circulation that is a prerequisite for tropical cyclone status. Therefore, advisories are being discontinued at this time. The ASCAT data showed that the system is now a sharp trough accompanied by an area of gale-force winds that will be handled in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service. The remnants of Kirk will be monitored during the next few days in case regeneration into a tropical cyclone should occur. Additional information on this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service...under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1 and WMO header FZNT01 KWBC.
