Post-Tropical Cyclone Kyle Discussion Number   7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL122020
500 AM AST Sun Aug 16 2020

Shortwave infrared satellite imagery and earlier ASCAT data
indicate that Kyle's circulation has become very elongated, and the
center has become ill defined.  Model analyses and satellite imagery
also suggest that the low is now attached to a prominent
warm/stationary front to its east and a weaker trailing cold front
to its southwest.  Therefore, Kyle has become an extratropical low,
and its maximum winds are estimated to be 35 kt based on the earlier
ASCAT data.  Global models indicate that Kyle's winds should
continue to decrease over the next couple of days, with the system
dissipating or becoming absorbed by another area of low pressure in
about 48 hours.

The initial motion is eastward, or 080/17 kt.  Since Kyle is
embedded in zonal mid-latitude flow, this general heading and speed
are expected to continue during the next day or two until the
cyclone dissipates.
