Hurricane Gabrielle remains a powerful Category 4 storm as it moves across the central subtropical Atlantic.
According to an advisory from the National Hurricane Center, Gabrielle was located about 390 miles northeast of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 140 miles per hour and some higher gusts.
However, forecasts suggest some gradual weakening is set to begin over the next few days
Hurricane Gabrielle safely passed to the east of Bermuda as the storm intensified from Category 1 to Category 4 in about a day.
The focus now turns to two other tropical waves in the Atlantic that for now aren't expected to threaten the Gulf Coast but could cause issues for the U.S. East Coast. Here's what the NHC had to say on both Tuesday morning.
Central and Western Tropical Atlantic:
Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a tropical wave located a little less than 1000 miles east of the Lesser Antilles continues to show signs of organization. Environmental conditions are forecast to be favorable for development over the next several days, and a tropical depression is likely to form by the latter half of this week while the system moves west-northwestward to northwestward into the western tropical Atlantic.
East of the Leeward Islands:
A tropical wave is producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms, and gusty winds across much of the Windward and Leeward Islands. This wave is expected to move west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph, spreading heavy rainfall and gusty winds into Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands tonight and Wednesday. The system is then expected to slow down and turn northwestward when it reaches the southwestern Atlantic near the Bahamas late this week, and a tropical depression could form when the disturbance is in that region. Interests in the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Turks and Caicos Islands, and the Bahamas should monitor the progress of this system.
The hurricane season ends on November 30.
