At 4 p.m. Saturday, the National Hurricane Center issued an advisory stating that Tropical Storm Gabrielle is in the Atlantic Ocean, 575 miles north-northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands and 580 miles southeast of Bermuda. Packing maximum sustained winds of 65 mph, it is tracking to the northwest at 10 mph.

Gabrielle is forecast to become a hurricane.

Hazards affecting land

Surf. Swells generated by Gabrielle are beginning to reach Bermuda and will build through the weekend. Swells generated by Gabrielle should reach the east coast of the United States from North Carolina northward, along with Atlantic Canada, later this weekend into early next week. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
