Hurricane Kyle will pass about 160 miles east of Cape Cod this afternoon, heading toward a landfall just east of Maine tonight. It is moving NNE at 24 mph.
Doesn’t look like much, does he?
Maine has not seen a landfalling hurricane since 1969.
Top winds are 80 mph. The central pressure is 991 mb.
Most of Kyle’s punch is on the eastern side of the storm, so it looks like Massachusetts will miss tropical storm force winds.
Tropical storm warnings and a hurricane watch are in effect for Downeast Maine. Widespread power outages are expected in Downeast Maine and the Martimes of Canada, where trees will be broken or uprooted by the strong winds.
