Tropical Storm Gabrielle Forms, Poised to Intensify into Hurricane as Bermuda Watches
Tropical Storm Gabrielle, the seventh named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, continues its northwestward track across the central Atlantic Ocean today, Thursday, September 18. Having formed yesterday morning, September 17, forecasters with the National Hurricane Center anticipate Gabrielle will intensify over the weekend, potentially reaching hurricane strength by Sunday.
Currently, Gabrielle is situated roughly 1,000 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands, moving at 22 miles per hour with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph. While its initial path is expected to keep it over open waters, projections indicate the storm could approach Bermuda early next week as a low-grade hurricane, potentially packing winds of up to 85 mph. Residents in Bermuda are advised to monitor official advisories closely.
Meteorologists emphasize that the storm’s path remains ‘highly uncertain’ due to its still-developing nature. This comes as the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, initially predicted to be more active, has seen quieter activity than anticipated, with Gabrielle being only the seventh named storm to date.
