Still no warnings for PEI from Environment Canada even though the National Hurricane Center in the US has moved the track even further east once again. It is now almost certain to pass over PEI. Kyle is just barely hanging on to its hurricane status. It's hung on longer than they had expected. There is still a possibility that Kyle will make landfall in Nova Scotia as a Category 1 storm.
Despite the lack of warnings (maybe they've forgotten about PEI) it's going to be a very windy day.

I've seen so many different things about hurricane kyle, one website said 130 km winds but now this one is saying that it might not even be categorized as a hurricane when it reaches P.E.I.
how do i know which one to believe?

Hey Jeremy,
Go straight to the sources. Don't believe the news as they're often hours behind the latest information. Dig into the releases and read the discussion and finer points of the bulletins. You'll often find language that gives you a better idea of the forecasters uncertainty or gut feeling.
