Hurricane Gabrielle gained strength Sunday afternoon when aircraft measurements confirmed wind speeds reached 75 mph. The National Hurricane Center expects the storm to become a Category 3 hurricane by Monday night before weakening later this week. Gabrielle travels north-northwest at 9 mph and will change direction to move northeast past Bermuda on Monday. The hurricane center warns that Bermuda may still experience wind and rain despite the storm staying offshore. Forecasters predict continued strengthening as Gabrielle accelerates across Atlantic waters.
Dangerous ocean swells from Gabrielle already impact Bermuda and have reached the United States East Coast from North Carolina to Atlantic Canada. These swells create life-threatening surf conditions and deadly rip currents that will persist through early this week. The storm may approach the Azores within four to five days, though weather experts remain uncertain about the exact path. Gabrielle represents the seventh named storm during the unusually quiet 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. The season continues through November 30 despite limited activity compared to previous years.
