With maximum sustained winds of 150 kilometers per hour (km/h), Gabrielle could strengthen further today and become a major hurricane as it approaches Bermuda tonight.
This is reported by the National Hurricane Center in its 21st bulletin on this system, which is heading north-northwest near 17 km/h (10.6 mph).
The second hurricane of the current Atlantic hurricane season, which runs until November 30, will remain far from land, the report highlights. As Gabrielle rotates, the Atlantic is becoming active again after an unusual calm during the first half of September.
The scientific institution is monitoring two other tropical waves that could bring their effects closer to the coast in the coming days.
One of these in the central Atlantic is steadily organizing and has a medium probability of becoming a tropical depression or tropical storm later this week.
The environment around this wave is becoming more favorable for its development, making it the most likely candidate to be the next named system of the season.
Another wave, located more than 800 kilometers east of the Lesser Antilles, is weaker and less organized.
Its chances of development remain low, but it could still cross the Leeward Islands early this week with gusty rain and wind—the kind of weather that can cause problems even without an official storm designation, the report emphasizes.
