Fredericton and Southern York County
4:39 PM ADT Saturday 27 September 2008
Rainfall warning for
Fredericton and Southern York County continued

Rainfall amounts over 50 millimetres are expected in these regions over the next 24-48 hours.

Tropical storm Kyle is currently west of Bermuda and is expected to reach hurricane strength as it moves northward. Kyle is forecast to track just west of Saint John New Brunswick after midnight Sunday night. It will continue northward over southeastern New Brunswick and reach Anticosti Island by Monday evening.

Rain associated with a non-related frontal system will affect most of the province tonight into Sunday. Rainfall amounts of 15 to 25 mm or more are likely tonight and during the day Sunday. As Kyle moves across southeastern New Brunswick Sunday night through Monday it will be accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds. The heaviest rainfall is forecast to occur west of Kyle's track Sunday night while the strongest winds will occur east of the track.

Current indications are that by Monday morning the weekend rainfall tally should range somewhere between 50 and 100 millimetres for most areas..Although higher amounts are possible over the southern half of the province. Emo New Brunswick reminds the public that rainfall in these amounts in a short period of time can result in rapid increase in water levels in streams and rivers and localized flash flooding.

The strong winds associated with Kyle are forecast to reach sustained values of 65 km/h or more with gusts of 90 to 110 km/h near the Fundy coast. These same winds speeds in similar events in the past have caused significant tree damage that has resulted in downed power lines and damage to structures due to falling branches or trees. All preparations to secure loose objects should be completed by Sunday afternoon.

HURRICANE KYLE DISCUSSION NUMBER 9
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL112008
500 PM EDT SAT SEP 27 2008

AN AIR FORCE RESERVE HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT REPORTED 850 MB
FLIGHT-LEVEL WINDS OF 79 KT IN THE NORTHEASTERN QUADRANT...ALONG
WITH ESTIMATED SURFACE WINDS OF 65-75 KT FROM THE SFMR. WHILE SOME
OF THE HIGHER SFMR VALUES LOOK SUSPECT...THE HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS
COVERED A LARGE ENOUGH AREA TO JUSTIFY UPGRADING KYLE TO A 65-KT
HURRICANE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE OVERALL ORGANIZATION OF THE
CYCLONE APPEARS TO HAVE CHANGED LITTLE TODAY...WITH THE CENTER
REMAINING NEAR THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE CONVECTION AND THE CENTRAL
PRESSURE RANGING FROM 995-999 MB. THUS...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE
INCREASED WINDS ARE MORE RELATED TO THE INCREASE IN THE FORWARD
MOTION THAN ANY INCREASE IN ORGANIZATION.

KYLE HAS ACCELERATED NORTHWARD DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...WITH
THE INITIAL MOTION NOW 355/20. KYLE REMAINS BETWEEN A DEEP-LAYER
TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN UNITED STATES AND A DEEP-LAYER RIDGE OVER
THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC. THIS PATTERN SHOULD STEER KYLE GENERALLY
NORTHWARD FOR 12 HR OR SO...FOLLOWED BY A TURN TOWARD THE
NORTH-NORTHEAST AS KYLE ENTERS THE WESTERLIES. WHILE THE MODEL
GUIDANCE AGREES WITH THIS SCENARIO...THERE HAS BEEN A SMALL
EASTWARD SHIFT IN THE GUIDANCE ENVELOPE. THE GFS...GFDL...HWRF...
AND ECMWF HAVE ALL SHIFTED TO THE RIGHT OF THEIR PREVIOUS RUNS AND
CALL FOR THE CENTER OF KYLE TO MAKE LANDFALL IN EITHER NEW
BRUNSWICK OR NOVA SCOTIA. SEEING THAT THE GUIDANCE SHOWED A RIGHT
SHIFT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AND A LEFT SHIFT LAST NIGHT...THE NEW
FORECAST TRACK WILL REMAIN CLOSE THE THE PREVIOUS TRACK AND CALL
FOR LANDFALL NEAR THE MAINE-NEW BRUNSWICK BORDER IN ABOUT 36 HR.
THE NEW FORECAST TRACK LIES ALONG THE LEFT EDGE OF THE GUIDANCE
ENVELOPE. THE GUIDANCE SHOWS SOME SIGNIFICANT SPREAD AFTER 48 HR
AS KYLE INTERACTS WITH A FRONTAL SYSTEM...SO THE FORECAST TRACK
SHOWS A SLOWER MOTION AT THAT TIME.

KYLE IS EMBEDDED IN STRONG...AND DIVERGENT...UPPER-LEVEL WINDS. THE
STRENGTH OF THE WINDS SUGGESTS CONTINUED SHEAR...WHICH WOULD
INHIBIT STRENGTHENING...WHILE THE UPPER-LEVEL DIVERGENCE WOULD
ENCOURAGE STRENGTHENING. THE GFDL...HWRF...AND SHIPS MODELS
FORECAST SOME ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING BEFORE KYLE REACHES COLD SEA
SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN 18-24 HR. THE NEW INTENSITY FORECAST WILL
FOLLOW SUIT...CALLING FOR A PEAK INTENSITY OF 70 KT IN ABOUT 12 HR
AND A GRADUAL WEAKENING THEREAFTER UNTIL LANDFALL. AFTER
LANDFALL...KYLE SHOULD WEAKEN AND BECOME EXTRATROPICAL...WITH THE
CYCLONE BEING ABSORBED BY A FRONTAL SYSTEM IN 72-96 HR.

THE FORECAST TRACK...INTENSITY...AND WIND RADII REQUIRE A TROPICAL
STORM WARNING FOR PORTIONS OF THE COAST OF MAINE AT THIS TIME.

REGIONS OF QUÉBEC. THIS AREA WILL SEE RAINFALL AMOUNTS NEAR OR
EXCEEDING 50 MILLIMETRES AS POST TROPICAL STORM KYLE INTERACTS
WITH A FRONTAL ZONE OVERNIGHT SUNDAY AND INTO MONDAY.

ON ITS CURRENT TRACK KYLE WILL BE PASSING BY YARMOUTH NOVA SCOTIA
AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE IN YARMOUTH. THE RESULTING STORM SURGE
ON TOP OF THE DANGEROUS ROUGH SURF FROM KYLE MAY LEAD TO
SHORELINE EROSION AND DAMAGE TO THE COASTAL INFRASTRUCTURE
MAINLY IN YARMOUTH AND DIGBY COUNTIES.

4. MARINE WEATHER IMPACTS AND WARNINGS SUMMARY

AT 3 PM ADT THE ATLANTIC STORM PREDICTION CENTRE WILL BE
ISSUING HURRICANE FORCE WIND WARNINGS FOR THE EXTREME
SOUTHWESTERN MARINE AREAS AND WILL BE ISSUING STORM WARNINGS
FOR THE BAY OF FUNDY AND SOUTHWESTERN NOVA SCOTIA MARINE
AREAS.

GALE WARNINGS WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE EXTENDED TO MUCH OF
THE REMAINDER OF THE DISTRICT DURING SUBSEQUENT MARINE
FORECASTS.

5. TECHNICAL DISCUSSION FOR METEOROLOGISTS

A. ANALYSIS

SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUES TO SHOW DECENT CONVECTION OVER
THE CENTRE OF KYLE. THERE CONTINUES TO BE ABOUT 20 KNOTS
OF WEST SOUTHWESTERLY WIND SHEAR OVER KYLE AND THIS HAS
LIMITED THE INTENSIFICATION. A NOAA HURRICANE HUNTER AIRCRAFT
SHOULD BE SAMPLING THE STORM EARLY THIS AFTERNOON AND WE WILL
HAVE A BETTER IDEA ON THE STORM STRUCTURE LATER TODAY.

KYLE PASSED VERY CLOSE TO BUOY 41048 BETWEEN 13 AND 14Z.
THE MAXIMUM WINDS AT THE BUOY WERE 48 KNOTS AND THE HIGHEST
SIGNIFICANT WAVE WAS 7.0 METRES. WIND GUSTS TO TROPICAL STORM
FORCE WERE RECORDED ON BERMUDA ISLAND SOME 300 TO 400 NM
EAST OF THE STORM CENTRE.

B. PROGNOSTIC

WE HAVE ADJUSTED THE TRACK BACK TO WEST BY 30-50 NM IN LINE
WITH THE NEW NHC GUIDANCE AND EARLY 12Z MODEL GUIDANCE. THERE
ARE STILL A COUPLE OF MODELS THAT TRACK KYLE INTO NOVA SCOTIA
BUT THE MORE RELIABLE MODELS INSIST ON LANDFALL IN EXTREME
SOUTHWESTERN NEW BRUNSWICK. THIS FORECAST TRACK TAKES KYLE
AS A WEAKENING POST TROPICAL STORM THROUGH NEW BRUNSWICK AND
INTO THE GULF OF ST LAWRENCE MONDAY EVENING.

THERE STILL REMAINS SOME DIFFICULTY IN WHAT WILL EVENTUALLY
BE KYLE'S DEMISE IN EASTERN QUÉBEC OR LABRADOR. SOME MODEL
GUIDANCE SUGGEST THE STORM WILL WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE OVER
LABRADOR ON TUESDAY.. WHILE OTHER MODELS TAKE A WEAKENING
STORM INTO THE LABRADOR SEA AND MERGE IT WITH A STRONGER
BAROCLINIC SYSTEM. WE HAVE CHOSEN TO REMAIN PERSISTENT AND
WEAKEN AND DISSIPATE KYLE OVER LABRADOR ON TUESDAY.

WE FOLLOWED THE NHC GUIDANCE WITH RESPECT TO THE INTENSITY
FORECAST. WE HAVE KEPT KYLE AS A 65 KNOT HURRICANE AS IT
TRAVERSES INTO THE BROWNS BANK MARINE AREA AND THAT IS JUST
ABOUT THE TIME THAT EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION IS FORECAST TO
BEGIN. THE TRANSITION SHOULD BE FAIRLY RAPID AND BY MONDAY
MORNING IT WILL BE POST TROPICAL IN CENTRAL NEW BRUNSWICK.

ON THE PROJECTED PATH KYLE WILL HAVE SPENT 12 OR MORE HOURS
OVER COLD WATERS AND SHOULD HAVE WEAKENED TO JUST BELOW
HURRICANE STRENGTH AS IT ARRIVES ON THE NEW BRUNSWICK COAST
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS MONDAY.


C. PUBLIC WEATHER

WITH OUR CHANGE IN TRACK AND INTENSITY THERE HAD TO BE SOME
ADJUSTMENT TO THE WARNINGS.

THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL WILL STILL BE WEST OF THE STORM PATH
AND WITH THE FORWARD TRANSLATIONAL SPEED AMOUNTS COULD BE
UPWARDS TO 100 MM. THIS HEAVIEST RAIN COULD FALL IN A BRIEF
PERIOD OF TIME INCREASING THE THREAT OF LOCALIZED FLOODING.
THIS RAIN IS ON TOP OF ANY AMOUNTS THAT FALL TODAY IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A FRONTAL ZONE MOVING THROUGH NEW ENGLAND.

AS A RESULT OF KEEPING KYLE A HURRICANE UP TO THE POINT IT
REACHES BROWNS BANK.. AND THE FACT WE HAVE SHIFTED THE TRACK
WEST OF SAINT JOHN NEW BRUNSWICK.. WIND WARNINGS HAD TO BE
EXTENDED TO THE SOUTHWESTERN AREAS OF NEW BRUNSWICK ANYWHERE
NEAR AND EAST OF THE TRACK OF KYLE. WE WILL HAVE TO RAISE THE
WIND SPEED GUSTS TO 120 KM/H OVER SOUTHWESTERN NOVA SCOTIA
TO MATCH THE HURRICANE STRENGTH OF THE SYSTEM AS IT PASSES
BY WEST OF YARMOUTH AT 29/0300Z.

D. MARINE WEATHER

TRAPPED FETCH WAVE MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATES THAT SIGNIFICANT
WAVE HEIGHTS COULD BE ON THE ORDER OF 6 TO 8 METRES ON THE
SOUTHWESTERN COAST OF NOVA SCOTIA SUNDAY NIGHT. ON ITS CURRENT
TRACK KYLE WILL BE PASSING YARMOUTH AT ABOUT THE TIME OF HIGH
TIDE. RIGHT NOW THE MAIN CONCERN IS FOR YARMOUTH AND DIGBY
COUNTIES AS KYLE PASSES JUST AT THE TIME OF HIGH TIDE. IF THE
TRACK CHANGES THEN OTHER AREAS MAY BE OF CONCERN AS WELL.

IN NEW BRUINSWICK KYLE WILL ARRIVE AS THE TIDE IS EBBING
AND HENCE STORM SURGE SHOULD NOT BE A MAJOR CONCERN AT THIS
TIME. HOWEVER THERE COULD BE MINOR SHORELINE EROSION
DUE TO THE POUNDING SURF.
