Overview

• As of early Monday, Gabrielle is a Category 1 hurricane with sustained winds near 90 mph located about 210 miles southeast of Bermuda, moving north-northwest at 10 mph.
• The National Hurricane Center forecasts rapid strengthening, with Gabrielle likely reaching major-hurricane intensity by Monday night into Tuesday.
• The center is expected to pass east of Bermuda tonight before accelerating into the North Atlantic away from the U.S., and there are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
• Swells from Gabrielle are affecting Bermuda and are reaching the U.S. East Coast from North Carolina northward and Atlantic Canada, producing life‑threatening surf and rip currents.
• Two additional Atlantic waves are being monitored: a central Atlantic system with a 10%/60% chance of development over 48 hours/7 days and a wave east of the Lesser Antilles at 10%/30%, with gusty showers likely in the Leeward Islands regardless of development.
