Hurricane Kirk, which reached Category 4 strength in the Atlantic, is transitioning into a post-tropical cyclone as it heads towards Europe. Expected to hit northwestern Spain and France by October 9, Kirk will bring heavy rains and strong winds exceeding 70 mph, with potential flooding in several areas. While Kirk's intensity diminishes over colder waters, its extratropical transition could still yield significant impacts across Western Europe, particularly in France, Belgium, and Germany. The storm's remnants may also create a stormy tail affecting northern Italy. In addition, the National Hurricane Center is monitoring Hurricane Milton, projected to strengthen as it approaches Florida. Authorities are preparing for severe weather as both systems approach land.
