If that happens Gabrielle would become the second hurricane of 2025 in the Atlantic basin.
Tropical Storm Gabrielle is expected to stay at sea and away from the United States. Bermuda will have to keep a close eye on it, however. Gabrielle is expected to strengthen to a hurricane this weekend.
Tropical Storm Gabrielle still had 50 mph winds on Friday, but forecasters think the storm will strengthen soon and become a hurricane. If that happens Gabrielle would become the second hurricane of 2025 in the Atlantic basin. The other storm was Hurricane Erin, which briefly reached Category 5 intensity on Aug. 16 when it was in the central Atlantic. Like Erin, Gabrielle is expected to stay at sea and not make landfall anywhere. However, the National Hurricane Center’s forecast path takes it very close to Bermuda, which will have to watch it closely.As of Friday morning Gabrielle was in the central Atlantic, well to the north and east of the Leeward Islands.As of the last update, at 4 a.m. CDT Friday, the center of Tropical Storm Gabrielle was located 945 miles southeast of Bermuda and was tracking to the west-northwest at 12 mph. Gabrielle had sustained winds of 50 mph. The hurricane center said Gabrielle should strengthen gradually over the next few days and could become a hurricane on Sunday. The hurricane center’s intensity forecast suggests Gabrielle could peak as a Category 2 hurricane with 105 mph winds. The hurricane center said its most reliable track models now show Gabrielle’s center passing at least 140 nautical miles east of Bermuda in about three days. “However,” forecasters said Friday, “interests on the island should continue to monitor Gabrielle’s progress since NHC’s average track error at three days is about 90 nautical miles, and hazards can extend well away from the center. There is currently a 20-25 percent chance of tropical-storm-force winds occurring on Bermuda.” Waves from the storm are expected to start affecting Bermuda tonight and build through the weekend. Those waves could cause deadly rip currents.A tropical wave near the coast of Africa has a low chance of becoming a tropical depression in the next seven days.The hurricane center on Friday was also tracking another tropical wave near the coast of Africa.The hurricane center expects that disturbance to stay on a westward path over the next few days. The Gulf and Caribbean continued to be quiet on Friday, and no activity is expected in either area for the next seven days.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.and agree that your clicks, interactions, and personal information may be collected, recorded, and/or stored by us and social media and other third-party partners in accordance with our
