What happened

A low-pressure system over the western Atlantic, south of Bermuda, is being tracked by National Hurricane Center forecasters for possible development into a subtropical or tropical storm that could be named Kyle. On Nov 5, FOX 13 meteorologist Jim Weber said the area had a 50% chance of developing over the next week and showed some subtropical characteristics.

Why it matters
