Overview

• Tropical Storm Gabrielle had 60–65 mph sustained winds Saturday and was moving northwest around 13 mph, positioned roughly 615 miles southeast of Bermuda, according to NHC updates and reconnaissance data.
• National Hurricane Center guidance calls for Gabrielle to reach hurricane strength by Sunday and pass east of Bermuda Sunday night into Monday.
• Swells from Gabrielle are already affecting Bermuda with life‑threatening surf and rip currents, and similar hazards are expected to reach parts of the U.S. East Coast from North Carolina northward into Atlantic Canada late this weekend into early next week.
• Forecasts indicate additional intensification early next week, with several projections peaking near Category 2 strength, while the system remains well offshore of the United States.
• NHC is also monitoring a tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic with a low, about 20%, chance of development over the next seven days.
