HURRICANE KYLE is on a direct bearing for SAINT JOHN NEW BRUNSWICK, not to be confused with SAINT JOHNS NEWFOUNDLAND, which may also suffer a bit of HURRICANE KYLE's effect. Environment Canada predicted Friday that tropical storm Kyle will pass directly over Saint John, N.B., bringing up to 100 millimetres of rain and sustained winds of 90 kilometres an hour. The forecast says there's a possibility of coastal gusts reaching 120 kilometres an hour in southwestern New Brunswick.
	The Canadian Red Cross issued a news release saying it was putting its volunteers on standby, as the storm is forecast to make landfall on the fifth anniversary of hurricane Juan. "Being on standby essentially means being prepared, checking equipment and supplies . . . especially since Kyle could pack some hurricane-force wind gusts," said Bill Lawlor, Red Cross director of disaster management for Atlantic Canada. "The Red Cross is placing on standby about 650 disaster management volunteers." NOTE: These camera's are updated snapshots. To see the latest Camera View, refresh your Browser Page

Juan formed southeast of Bermuda on September 24, 2003 out of a tropical wave that tracked into the subtropical Atlantic Ocean. It strengthened gradually in the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, reaching Category 2 strength on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale on September 27 while continuing to track northward.

	It peaked at 105 mph (165 km/h) as it rapidly approached the coast of Nova Scotia, losing little intensity over the cooler waters. Juan made landfall between Shad Bay and Prospect in the Halifax Regional Municipality early on September 29 while still a Category 2 hurricane. Juan retained hurricane strength as it crossed Nova Scotia from south to north before weakening to a tropical storm as it crossed Prince Edward Island. It was absorbed by another extratropical low later on September 29 near Anticosti Island in the northern Gulf of Saint Lawrence. NOTE: These camera's are updated snapshots.

	Kyle, a tropical storm expected to hit New Brunswick with near hurricane strength, will likely fizzle into a wind event for Cape Breton late Sunday. “The farther east you go in Nova Scotia the better the scenario is looking, because you’re getting farther away from that storm track,” said Peter Bowyer of the Canadian Hurricane Centre. “If there is rain, it’s not going to be a lot with this track.” Wind gusts of around 40 to 60 kilometres per hour are expected to begin in Cape Breton late Sunday and continuing overnight.
