Overview

• Gabrielle intensified from Tropical Depression Seven on Wednesday and was located about 990 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands.
• Recent advisories indicate the storm’s circulation reformed farther north, and guidance bends the track north then northeast over the Atlantic with Bermuda advised to monitor.
• Wind shear is expected to lessen, supporting slow strengthening with the potential to reach hurricane intensity late this weekend.
• Two trailing disturbances near the Cabo Verde region have low development odds this week, near 10% and 20% respectively.
• No direct U.S. impacts are expected for now, as the Southeast remains warm and humid with spotty showers before higher rain chances return with a front next week.
