Kyle heads for Nova Scotia

Tropical Storm Kyle has finally formed north of Haiti last night and is expected to move rapidly northward just to the west of Bermuda. The storm is forecast to intensify to a Category 1 hurricane before hitting Nova Scotia late Sunday or early Monday. All interests in the Maratimes should monitor Kyle till landfall. The storm has the potential to produce high winds over 100mm of rain, flooding, damage and power outages. Prepare now in Nova Scotia southern New Brunswick and PEI.

Meanwhile the heavy rain from the first coastal storm has now pushed into Vermont heading towards southern Quebec. Rain showers and drizzle will affect eastern Ontario for most of the weekend. Winds will be gusty in the St. Lawrence Valley. The Outer Banks of North Carolina are continuing the clean up from several days of storm force winds and high surf. Highway 12 is expected to reopen today after winds and waves subside.

Nights in Rodanthe opens today starring Richard Gere and Diane Lane. While I am usually not into these kind of flicks, I will go for the scenery. Read about the premiere here and learn a little about why I love the Outer Banks so much.
