moving toward the north-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h). A turn

Bermuda tonight.
 
Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 90 mph (150 km/h) 
with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast over the next day or 
so, and Gabrielle could become a major hurricane tonight.
 
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the

(220 km).
 
The estimated minimum central pressure is 978 mb (28.88 inches).

Key messages for Gabrielle can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT2 and WMO header WTNT42 KNHC.
 
SURF:  Swells generated by Gabrielle will continue to affect Bermuda
during the next few days. These swells are now reaching the east
coast of the United States from North Carolina northward, as well as
Atlantic Canada, and are expected to continue through the early
part this week. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening
surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your
local weather office.
