First Alert Meteorologist James Wieland said this is the earliest "K" storm on record by 10 days. Previously, the earliest "K" storm was Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which devastated New Orleans.
The storm is expected to move east, away from the United States and not affect our weather.
At 11 p.m. Friday, Tropical Storm Kyle has maximum sustained winds of 45 mph with higher gusts and moving east-northeast near 16 mph.
Slight strengthening is possible Friday night and Saturday.
Kyle is forecast to become post-tropical by Sunday night. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles from the center.
