Several countries have been placed on alert as Hurricane Kirk, a large and powerful major hurricane, is churning its way across the Caribbean.
The Miami-based National Hurricane Center says surf swells generated by Kirk are spreading westward and are expected to reach the Leeward Islands later today, Bermuda and the Greater Antilles on Saturday, the east coast of the United States, Atlantic Canada, and the Bahamas on Sunday.
The NHC says these swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
The weather forecasters are also monitoring the passage of Tropical Storm Leslie, with maximum sustained winds of 60 miles per hour and located 645 miles west-southwest of the southernmost Cabo Verde Islands.
