Tropical Storm Kyle Forms In The Atlantic (Sept. 25 Tropics Report)



The National Hurricane Center is reporting that Invest 93 has finally developed tropical characteristics, and is now Tropical Storm Kyle. It's moving parallel to (but a safe distance from) the US East Coast with winds of 45mph.

The storm will be moving just to the west of Bermuda, and will eventually make landfall late this weekend somewhere between Cape Cod and Nova Scotia...possibly as a Category 1 hurricane.

Some of you may be wondering about a system off the coast of North Carolina. While this has a circulation and gale force winds, this is actually a non-tropical low, of the type normally seen during the fall and winter months. It's causing some much-needed rainfall in the deep South.

Stay tuned for updates on Kyle.
