Overview

• Gabrielle strengthened to a major hurricane with maximum sustained winds near 120 mph and was about 195 miles southeast of Bermuda, moving north at 10 mph, per Monday morning advisories.
• No coastal watches or warnings were in effect, though Bermuda was advised to monitor the storm as passing rain and gusty winds remain possible.
• Swells from Gabrielle are producing life‑threatening surf and rip currents affecting Bermuda, the U.S. East Coast from North Carolina northward, and Atlantic Canada through early week.
• The hurricane is forecast to turn northeast after passing east of Bermuda, keeping it away from the U.S., with model guidance diverging on the longer‑range track later this week.
• The NHC is tracking two tropical waves: a central Atlantic disturbance with a 10%/60% chance of formation in 48 hours/7 days, and a wave east of the Lesser Antilles at 10%/30% with gusty winds and showers reaching the Leeward Islands Monday night into Tuesday.
