Tropical Depression Kyle, October 10, 2002

Visualizations by Lori Perkins Released on October 10, 2002

Tropical Depression Kyle is expected to reach the northeast Florida coast in 24 hours. It is currently packing sustained winds of 30 mph. The storm developed on September 20, 2002 and has been classified as a sub-tropical depression, tropical storm, hurricane, tropical storm, and now a tropical depression. The visualization zooms down to the storm and then shows the overall rain structure of Kyle. Yellow represents areas where at least 0.5 inches of rain fell per hour. Green shows at least 1.0 inch of rain, and red depicts more than 2.0 inches of rain per hour.
