At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Gabrielle was located by NOAA hurricane hunter aircraft near latitude 28.5 North, longitude 61.7 West.

Gabrielle is now moving toward the north-northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h). A turn more northward is forecast on Monday, followed by a somewhat faster northeastward or east-northeastward motion on Tuesday.

On the forecast track, the center of Gabrielle is expected to pass east of Bermuda on Monday evening. Data from the NOAA hurricane hunters indicate that maximum sustained
winds have increased to near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts, making Gabrielle a hurricane.

Additional steady to rapid intensification is forecast over the next day or so, and Gabrielle could become a major hurricane in the early part of this week.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 175 miles (280 km).

The minimum central pressure estimated by NOAA aircraft data is 992 mb (29.30 inches).
