Well that escalated quickly. Back from a weekend trip and all the basins have plenty of action. Once again we get lucky with another high end miss in #Gabrielle

That said, 2 systems behind that bear watching with a trough lifting out and ridge building over the Great Lakes… pic.twitter.com/VCydUV7xla

Gabrielle became a Category 1 hurricane on Sunday, and quickly intensified to a Category 3 hurricane by Monday as it resided in the warm Atlantic waters. The storm’s path was taking it east of Bermuda.

With this year’s Atlantic hurricane season being relatively quiet experts say there’s a few reasons for that, but it doesn’t mean dangerous hurricanes are due to not form later.

A hurricane heading east-northeast away from Bermuda rarely looks this impressive on satellite imagery.
