Tropical Storm Kirk Next Up in Atlantic
Upgraded to Hurricane
Tropical Depression Eleven formed in the Eastern Atlantic and became Tropical Storm Kirk later in the evening. Based on the current projected path, it should stay out at sea but will strengthen into a hurricane in the next few days. We'll continue to monitor the storm to see if it impacts any cruises.
