Tropical Storm Kyle formed off the East Coast of the U.S. on Friday afternoon.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Friday the center of Tropical Storm Kyle was located at latitude 37.7\u00b0N and longitude 71.7\u00b0W which put it about 185 miles (300 km) southeast of Atlantic City, New Jersey.\u00a0 Kyle was moving toward the east-northeast at 17 m.p.h. (28 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 50 m.p.h. (80 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1008 mb.<\/p>\n
Based on data from satellites and surface observations the National Hurricane Center (NHC) determined that a low pressure system off the East Coast of the U.S. possessed characteristics of a tropical cyclone and winds to tropical storm force.\u00a0 NHC designated the system as Tropical Storm Kyle on Friday afternoon.\u00a0 Kyle had a well defined low level center of circulation.\u00a0 Many of the stronger thunderstorms were occurring in bands in the eastern half of Tropical Storm Kyle.\u00a0 Bands in the western half of the circulation consisted primarily of showers and lower clouds.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 80 miles to the southeast of the center of circulation.\u00a0 Winds in the other parts of Kyle were blowing at less than tropical storm force.<\/p>\n
Tropical Storm Kyle will move through an environment marginally favorable for intensification during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 Kyle will move over water where the Sea Surface Temperature is near 27\u00b0C.\u00a0 An upper level trough over eastern Canada and the Great Lakes will produces southwesterly winds which will blow toward the top of tropical storm Kyle.\u00a0 Those winds will cause moderate vertical wind shear and they will inhibit intensification.\u00a0 Tropical Storm Kyle could strengthen a little more during the next day or so.<\/p>\n
The southwesterly winds will steer Tropical Storm Kyle toward the east-northeast during the next several days.\u00a0 On its anticipated track Kyle is forecast to pass south of Nova Scotia and Labrador.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere over the Atlantic Ocean, Tropical Storm Josephine was spinning east of the northern Leeward Islands.\u00a0 At 5:00 p.m. EDT on Friday the center of Tropical Storm Josephine was located at latitude 17.8\u00b0N and longitude 56.1\u00b0E which put it about 460 miles (740 km) east of the northern Leeward Islands.\u00a0 Josephine was moving toward the west-northwest at 16 m.p.h. (26 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 40 m.p.h. (65 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 50 m.p.h. (80 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 1004 mb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
