Overview

• As of the NHC’s 5 a.m. Monday advisory, Gabrielle sustained 90 mph winds about 210 miles southeast of Bermuda while moving north-northwest at 10 mph.
• A turn to the north then northeast is forecast, with the center passing east of Bermuda tonight and tracking away from the United States over open water.
• Further strengthening is expected, with projections showing potential major-hurricane intensity by Tuesday before gradual weakening over cooler northern Atlantic waters later this week.
• Swells from Gabrielle will produce dangerous surf and rip currents affecting Bermuda, the U.S. East Coast from North Carolina northward, and Atlantic Canada through early this week.
• The NHC is monitoring two disturbances: a central Atlantic wave with a 60% seven-day formation chance after dry air subsides, and a wave east of the Lesser Antilles with a 30% seven-day chance that may bring gusty showers to the Leeward Islands Monday night into Tuesday.
