PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- Hurricane Kyle weakened Sunday but was still a Category 1 storm with sustained winds near 75 mph as it headed toward Canada, the U.S Hurricane Center said.

At 5 p.m. EDT, forecasters said Kyle was moving toward the north-northeast at about 25 miles per hour. They said given the hurricane's current track, Kyle would come over or near southwestern Nova Scotia, Canada, Sunday night and over New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island early Monday.

Hurricane-force winds were extending 85 miles from Kyle's eye, while tropical storm-force winds were reach out 230 miles from the storm's center, the hurricane center said.

Up to 6 inches of rain were predicted for parts of coastal New England and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.
