Tropical Storm Kyle is still out there in the Atlantic, currently west of Bermuda, racing northward towards the US/Canada border. It's peak winds are at around 70mph, just short of Hurricane status.
There's a hurricane watch for the Maine coast, but the Canadian government is more prudent, issuing a tropical storm watch for the coasts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. There's a possibility of some slight strengthening, which of course means that Kyle would be a hurricane. However, as you can see by the graphic below, it doesn't have far to go before it moves over waters too cool (less than 26C/80F) for further development of the system.
I have trouble taking this storm seriously, because as a South Park fan, I have trouble seeing the name Kyle without hearing Mr. Hankey call him from the toilet. See the video (NSFW).
Yeah, I know. Totally inappropriate. But I'm like that.
UPDATE: 4:55PM - Kyle is now a hurricane, with top winds of 75 mph.
