MIAMI (CBSMiami) - What was once Tropical Storm Kirk, then Tropical Depression Kirk, is nothing more than Kirk remnants moving west across the Atlantic.

At 11 a.m., the National Hurricane Center said Kirk no longer had a closed circulation. The center of the system was about 1070 miles west-southwest of the southernmost Cabo Verde Islands. It was moving to the west at 23 mph with maximum sustained winds of 40 mph.

The remnants of Kirk are forecast to continue on a westerly course over the next few days. Little change in strength is forecast during the next 48 hours.

There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
