Kyle Becomes A Hurricane

Posted by ns62590 on September 27, 2008

As of 5pm, now Hurricane Kyle has winds of 75 mph, with a pressure of 995 millibars. The storm was located about 485 miles south of Nantuckett, Massachusetts. A hurricane watch is in effect from Stonington to Eastport, MA. Also, a tropical storm warning is in effect from Port Clyde to Eastport, MA. A tropical storm watch is in effect south of the warning area from Port Clyde to Saint Elizabeth. Also, Canada has issued a tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch for southwestern Nova Scotia.

The center of Hurricane Kyle is expected to bring high waves to the New England coastline tonight and increased winds and rain will impact the New England area tomorrow. However, Kyle is already moving into the faster upper level winds which will cause its forward speed to increase, which will limit the affects of the storm, and it will be out of the way by Monday.
