Overview

• As of the 5 a.m. NHC advisory, Gabrielle had 65 mph winds about 455 miles southeast of Bermuda, moving north-northwest near 9 mph.
• Forecasters expect strengthening to hurricane status later today, with a possible peak near 100 mph before weakening over cooler waters.
• The center is forecast to pass east of Bermuda on Monday, then accelerate northeast into the open Atlantic with no U.S. land threat.
• Bermuda may see gusty winds and rain, while large swells are set to create life‑threatening surf and rip currents from the Carolinas northward and into Atlantic Canada early this week.
• An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter mission is investigating the storm today, as the NHC also raises to 40% the seven‑day development odds for a tropical wave west‑southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.
