Tropical

Storm Josephine has weakened while a second system, Kyle, has been downgraded

to a post-tropical cyclone.

Josephine

was located 305 kilometres northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico, according to the

US National Hurricane Center’s 5:00 a.m. advisory. Forecasters expect that the

system could dissipate by Monday, with Kyle expected to do the same later that

day.

Kyle

was located 880 kilometres southwest of Cape Race, Newfoundland in Canada at

the time of the advisory. Both systems had maximum sustained winds around 65

kph.

Josephine

could still bring between one and three inches of rain to parts of the northern

Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

No

coastal watches or warnings were in effect.

Nine storms, including Kyle, have now been the earliest named

system for their respective letters. Tropical Storm Kyle’s formation broke the

previous record held by Katrina which formed on August 24 back in 2005.

Only two systems, Hanna and

Isaias, which killed two people in the Caribbean earlier this month, have

become hurricanes.
