Hurricane Kirk, now a Category 3 storm, is moving across the Atlantic with sustained winds nearing 120 m.p.h., expected to strengthen as it travels northwest.
The National Hurricane Center warns that swells generated by Hurricane Kirk will create dangerous surf and rip current conditions along the East Coast and the Caribbean.
Kirk's development comes in the wake of Hurricane Helene, which recently caused record flooding and at least 191 confirmed fatalities across multiple states.
Heavy rains from Hurricane Helene led to significant urban flooding in Florida and landslides in Appalachia, resulting in widespread destruction and loss of life.
