Tropical Storm Kyle

[Raineyrocks]

I figured I'd post this because I looked at the projected path over the next few days and it looks like it might come close.

Kyle Gaining Strength

Current Coastal Issues

Low pressure moved inland last night along the North and South Carolina coasts, and will track very slowly northwest toward the Appalachians today. While high surf continues today along the Carolina coast, the winds will drop off to the 10 to 20 mph range.

More significant impacts are expected over the Mid-Atlantic and New England coasts today, where the combination of this low pressure and strong high pressure to the north, will bring a strong onshore flow into the area.

High surf will batter the coastal areas, with waves peaking early today in the 10 to 15 foot range from the Virginia coast, to the Long Island coast; some costal flooding and beach erosion will be possible, especially at times of high tide today.

Heavy rain will bring possible flooding from New York City, north through the Boston area, where rainfall of 3 to 6 inches is possible. Winds of 15 to 25 mph, with gusts over 30 mph, especially along the coasts, will also be possible.

Tropical Storm Kyle

Meanwhile, attention will turn to Tropical Storm Kyle, as it could impact parts of northern New England Saturday into Sunday.

As of 11 a.m. EDT, Kyle (sustained winds at 60 mph) was located 475 miles south-southwest of Bermuda, and was moving north-northwest at 13 mph.

On its current track, the system would pass west of Bermuda Saturday, but be close enough to bring 12 to 18 foot surf to the island and perhaps some squally conditions from outer bands.

Tropical Storm Warnings have been posted for parts of Bermuda.

Its next approach to land would be the northern New England States Saturday night into Sunday.

For now, the greatest potential for impacts along the U.S. mainland would be over Cape Code and eastern Maine, mainly in the form of high surf and gusty winds. Squally weather will already be in place with the aforementioned coastal issues going on today.

Persons over northern New England should continue to monitor the latest forecasts.

Typhoon Jangmi

Over in the western Pacific, Typhoon Jangmi (110 mph) is moving northwest between Guam and the Philippines.

This motion is expected to continue, as it should grow stronger. Impacts will be possible over the northern Philippines, Taiwan and eventually mainland China over the next several days.
