Invest 99L in the far eastern Atlantic transformed into an extratropical low and continued to move northeastward towards Europe. It appears that the system became occluded and even though there was some warm air in the core two days ago, the occlusion process, lifted the warm bubble above the air leaving a cold core systems. Tropical systems are warm core and extratropical systems are cold core.

The circulation of the non-tropical low can still be clearly seen in the enhanced IR satellite image below.

The rest of the tropical Atlantic remains very quiet as it normally the case this year. This is confirmed in the basin-wide satellite image below.

Just as quickly as Kenneth strengthened to a Category 4 hurricane on Tuesday, he weakened just as quickly to a tropical storm. The structure of the storm as shown in the IR satellite image below is much less defined than it was yesterday.

Kenneth should continue to weaken without any threat to land as shown below.
