Overview

• As of the early Saturday NHC advisory, Gabrielle held 50 mph winds and was moving northwest at about 13 mph several hundred miles southeast of Bermuda.
• Guidance keeps the center east of Bermuda Sunday night into Monday and well offshore of the U.S. East Coast.
• NHC warns of hazardous swells and rip currents for Bermuda, with rough seas expected across parts of the open Atlantic.
• Wind shear has eased and organization has improved, supporting a higher-confidence intensification forecast.
• If upgraded, Gabrielle would be the Atlantic season’s second hurricane, while a separate eastern Atlantic wave carries a 20% seven‑day development chance.
