The National Hurricane Center is monitoring Hurricane Gabrielle as it spins close to Bermuda.
Forecasters say the storm has rapidly intensified into a major hurricane, which is considered Category 3 or higher.
Gabrielle is located southeast of Bermuda and moving at ten miles per hour with maximum sustained winds of 120 miles per hour.
It is the second hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season after struggling to strengthen over the past several days.
The NHC is also watching two areas of interest over the Atlantic.
Central Tropical Atlantic:
Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a tropical wave located about midway between the Lesser Antilles and the Cabo Verde Islands continues to increase. Environmental conditions are forecast to become more favorable for development by tomorrow, and a tropical depression is likely to form on Wednesday or Thursday while the system moves west-northwestward to northwestward across the central Atlantic.
East of the Leeward Islands:
A tropical wave located about 300 miles east of the Leeward Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear marginally conducive for some 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 heavy rainfall are expected to affect portions of the Leeward Islands late tonight and Tuesday and near Puerto Rico late Tuesday and Wednesday.
The hurricane season ends on November 30.
