Think this is the farthest east I've ever seen an NHC cone, Kirk is forecast to hit Germany, though greatly weakened

as a post tropical depression. To note, the NHC will track a tropical cyclone until it completely loses all tropical characteristics and Kirk may completely lose them over NW/N France but there's enough of a possibility that their cone extends all the way to Germany lol. Its not all that uncommon for (especially late season) Atlantic storms to reach the UK, Western France or NW Africa. But the cone all the way to Germany? That's a first for me me thinks lol.

Regardless might be good time to check out BigJetTV on youtube Tue or Wed as Kirk passes by the UK. Might see some hairy commercial Jet crosswind landings that might give some the willies about flying. Jerry is a hoot too lol

Right now Southern Germany and throughout the Alps of Austria and Italy have been deluged the last month with rain and flooding and this storm if it follows this path could bring more devastating rain surges.

No - nothing to see here folks - no changes to our climate.

But all the way to possibly Germany? What will the climate change deniers say about that?
