Update on Kyle

Today was a very nice day here with temps again in the 20°Cs.We are currently beginning to see some clouds move in from an approaching front that is carrying a fair amount of rain with it.
Now on to Kyle,which will be in our area on Sunday.The following is a Special Weather Statement issued this afternoon:
Special weather statement for Nova Scotia issued by Environment Canada at 2:13 PM ADT Friday 26 September 2008. Tropical storm Kyle is currently well southwest of Bermuda and is expected to reach hurricane strength Saturday morning as it moves northward. Kyle will move into the western Maritimes marine district Sunday afternoon and track into the Gulf of St Lawrence Monday. Rain associated with a non related frontal system over the Carolinas will spread into the western half of the province tonight and persist through much of Saturday. On Sunday significant rainfall and gusty winds are expected as Kyle nears the province. Current indications suggest that western portions of the province will be the most impacted however it is simply too soon to accurately forecast exactly where the heaviest rain will be or how strong the winds will get. The public is advised to monitor future forecasts as warnings may be required.
