...GABRIELLE RAPIDLY INTENSIFIES INTO A MAJOR HURRICANE SOUTHEAST OF BERMUDA...
 
SUMMARY OF 900 AM AST...1300 UTC...INFORMATION
----------------------------------------------
LOCATION...30.6N 62.2W
ABOUT 195 MI...310 KM SE OF BERMUDA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...120 MPH...195 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...N OR 10 DEGREES AT 10 MPH...17 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...957 MB...28.26 INCHES
 
WATCHES AND WARNINGS
--------------------
There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
Interests in Bermuda should monitor the progress of Gabrielle.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 900 AM AST (1300 UTC), the center of Hurricane Gabrielle was located near latitude 30.6 North, longitude 62.2 West. Gabrielle is moving toward the north near 10 mph (17 km/h).  This general motion is expected today, followed by a faster northeastward or east-northeastward motion on Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Gabrielle is expected to pass east of Bermuda tonight.
=======================================================================
1. Central Tropical Atlantic:  Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a tropical wave located about midway between the Lesser Antilles and the Cabo Verde Islands has increased since yesterday.  Environmental conditions are forecast to become more favorable for development by tomorrow, and a tropical depression is likely to form by the middle to latter part of this week while the system moves west-northwestward
to northwestward across the central Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

2. East of the Leeward Islands:  A tropical wave located about 400 miles east of the Leeward Islands continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms.  Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for slow development over the next few days as the wave moves quickly
westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph.  By the latter part
of this week, the system is expected to slow down and turn more
northwestward, and a tropical depression could form late this week
when the system is over the southwestern Atlantic Ocean or near the
Bahamas.  Regardless of development, gusty winds and showers are
expected to affect portions of the Leeward Islands late tonight and
Tuesday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.
