I thought an update was in order. It appeared from the last few days that Hurricane Kyle was tracking well west of Prince Edward Island. In fact, most of the forecasts were leaning towards a landfall in the Maine/New Brunswick border area. With the latest position update (Noon Sunday) this has changed drastically to the east. Kyle is now forecast to make landfall in southern Nova Scotia and cross over eastern New Brunswick and central/western PEI. Environment Canada is now re-evaluating the previously released warnings as they are now out-of-date.

Prediction: PEI will get more than what has been forecast to date. If this track remains on course we'll be placed in the north-east quadrant, the most powerful part of a storm. While the storm will be tropical or post-tropical it will probably still pack a punch. Wind warnings will more-than-likely be issued for Prince and Queens county later this afternoon if this track holds true.

The eye of the storm should pass by PEI on Monday morning around 8-9am.

I'll do my best to keep you updated on the latest developments.
