The National Hurricane Center expects it to strengthen into a hurricane by mid-week.
As of 5 p.m. on Monday, Tropical Storm Kirk was located at 13.6 N and 35.7 W., moving west at 12 mph.
Tropical Storm Kirk is expected to become a hurricane later this week.
Tropical Storm Kirk does not pose a threat to the U.S. at this time.
FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg said, depending on where this area goes, heavy rain could reach the Bay Area by the second half of next weekend and into next week.
“We just don’t know how much or if this is going to develop into anything significant,” Osterberg said. “But it’s something we’re going to have to watch closely over the next few days.”
