Overview

• Gabrielle reached major hurricane status with 120 mph winds and was about 195–210 miles southeast of Bermuda, moving north at roughly 10 mph.
• Forecasts call for a turn to the northeast with the center passing east of Bermuda and remaining over open water, with no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
• 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.
• Forecasters say some additional strengthening is possible in the short term, with weakening expected to begin by midweek over cooler waters.
• The NHC is monitoring two tropical waves, including a central Atlantic disturbance with about a 60% seven‑day development chance and a weaker wave east of the Lesser Antilles near 30% that could bring gusty winds and showers to the Leeward Islands.
