Reports from the National Hurricane Center announced that the Atlantic hurricane season’s 11th storm, known as Kyle, has the potential to become a Category 1 hurricane by tomorrow.
At this point, it is carrying sustained winds of over 60 mph and even though it is located at a distance of over 400 miles from Bermuda which is very unlikely to be in its path, a tropical storm warning has already been issued for the island.
Dennis Feltgen, public affairs officer for the National Hurricane Center, explained that there is a lot of uncertainty surounding the storm with very few hints about its next moves. He added that there is a chance that Kyle will pass the United States without delivering a direct hit and inflicting major damage, but until it will actually pass by, the general state of panic and stress will not go anywhere.
A careful monitoring process will be conducted by weather agencies located in New England and the Canadian Maritime Provinces.
Forecasters, who have studied the weather events over the past few years, agreed that the six-month season, which runs through November 30, could produce as many as 18 cyclones and several factors that contribute to the formation of hurricanes, such as warm sea temperatures and low wind shear, are still in place.
The devastation brought by some of these storms in recent years proved that these warnings must not be taken lightly and people must act quickly get out of the way as soon as possible.
