Tracking the tropics
The National Hurricane Center said Tropical Storm Kirk is likely to dissipate after dropping heavy rain and causing flooding in the eastern Caribbean.
At 8 a.m. EDT Friday, the center of Kirk was about 140 miles southwest of St. Lucia with maximum winds of 50 mph. It was moving forward at 12 mph with tropical storm-force winds extending 115 miles to the north and east.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for St. Lucia.
Forecasters said the storm will likely lose its organization and be downgraded to a tropical depression by early Saturday. The remnants will move across the eastern and central Caribbean through the weekend.
Officials in the French Caribbean island of Guadeloupe closed schools, and thunderstorms hit Barbados.

Meanwhile, Post Tropical Cyclone Leslie is located over the central Atlantic, several hundred miles west of the Azores.
Leslie is expected to again become a tropical storm or subtropical storm, possibly Friday or Saturday as it moves west-southwest at 10 mph over the north-central Atlantic.
"It will not impact the United States," Bridges said.
Hurricane season officially runs through November.
