🌴 Tropical Storm Gabrielle Update – Friday, Sept. 19, 2025 (5 AM AST) 🌴
Gabrielle continues to strengthen this morning with winds near 50 mph. The storm is moving west-northwest at 10 mph, guided by high pressure to its north.
👉 Forecast Track:
Gabrielle is expected to gradually strengthen and become a hurricane by Sunday.
The latest forecast keeps the center at least 140 miles east of Bermuda Sunday night into Monday.
Still, Bermuda should monitor closely – tropical-storm-force winds have a 20–25% chance of reaching the island, and swells will begin arriving tonight into the weekend.
👉 Hazards:
Strong surf & rip currents are likely around Bermuda this weekend.
Wind & rain impacts depend on Gabrielle’s exact track – uncertainty remains.
📈 Forecast Intensity:
Saturday: Tropical Storm, strengthening.
Sunday: Hurricane Gabrielle.
Peak: Near 105 mph early next week before weakening over cooler waters.
We’ll keep watching Gabrielle as it heads north of the tropics and approaches Bermuda’s vicinity. Stay tuned for updates.
