System type: Tropical storm

System name: Gabrielle

The National Hurricane Center’s 10 a.m. Sunday advisory reported that Tropical Storm Gabrielle is in the Atlantic Ocean, 390 miles southeast of Bermuda. With maximum sustained winds of 65 mph, the system is moving to the northwest at 12 mph.

“… the center of Gabrielle is expected to pass east of Bermuda on Monday”, forecasters noted. They also said “Gabrielle is expected to become a hurricane later today, and rapid intensification is possible over the next day or so.”

Hazards affecting land

Surf. Swells generated by Gabrielle will continue to affect Bermuda during the next few days. These swells are expected to reach the east coast of the United States from North Carolina northward, as well as Atlantic Canada, starting today and continuing through early this week. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
