Tropical Storm Gabrielle is drifting just west of
Bermuda, in the midst of a slight jog in its otherwise northward trek
through the western Atlantic Ocean.
Gabrielle redeveloped into a
tropical storm early Tuesday after its remnants had been spinning
northward in the western Atlantic Ocean the last few days. The system
degenerated into a remnant low on Sept. 5 near Puerto Rico after its
original 24-hour run as a tropical cyclone (see below for details on
Gabrielle's first life).
Tropical storm warnings have been discontinued for Bermuda. Sustained
winds in excess of 30 mph were reported much of the afternoon Tuesday
on Bermuda with occasional gusts above 40 mph. Breezy conditions
continued into Wednesday with sustained winds of 20 to 25 mph much of
the day. Those breezy conditions are expected to continue into Thursday
along with periodic showers.After moving past Bermuda, Gabrielle
is forecast to become a non-tropical area of low pressure while moving
near or east of Nova Scotia and into Newfoundland late Friday into
Saturday. Regardless of whether Gabrielle is still tropical at that
time, there is a nearly 50 percent chance of tropical storm (gale) force
winds, at or above 39 mph, in parts of those Canadian provinces during
the early part of the weekend.
Gabrielle is no threat to the United States or the Caribbean.
