KIRK IS NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE LONG AND PROSPER. VISIBLE SATELLITE IMAGES AND A 1214 UTC ASCAT PASS INDICATE THAT THE SYSTEM STILL HAS A CLOSED CIRCULATION BUT IT IS BECOMING ELONGATED. MAXIMUM RELIABLE WINDS IN THE ASCAT PASS WERE AROUND 45 KT SO THE INITIAL WIND SPEED IS HELD AT THAT VALUE. KIRK WILL LIKELY BECOME POST-TROPICAL LATER TODAY OR DISSIPATE JUST BEFORE IT MERGES WITH A FRONT THAT IS CURRENTLY LOCATED ABOUT 200 N MI TO ITS WEST.

Nerd humor, and you can't get much nerdier than the NWS NOAA/NHC. Not saying that's a bad thing, you understand.

Damnit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a meteorologist.

Did you ever notice how Spock cocked an eyebrow when he said "fascinating"? That's Vulcan for "I haven't a clue". That salute, the Vulcan middle finger. There is much you don't know about Star Trek, like the engineering secret GNDN.

It had to do with Pon Farr, I believe.
