Humberto Nearly a Hurricane; Gabrielle Has Regenerated Into a Tropical Storm



Humberto is currently 150 miles west of the southernmost Cape Verde Islands. Total rainfall of 3-6 inches is expected through Wednesday across the Cape Verde Islands which can cause flooding and mudslides. Environmental conditions will be mostly favorable for Humberto to continue to gain strength through the latter part of the workweek, and the storm is expected to acquire hurricane status on Wednesday or maybe even later today.

Gabrielle has regenerated into a tropical storm this morning. Gabrielle is located about 185 miles south of Bermuda. The system is expected to affect Bermuda with gusty winds up to tropical storm force and heavy rainfall. Rainfall amounts of 2-4 inches are expected with as much as 6 inches locally. The worst of the impacts will be felt tonight and tomorrow across the island. The system will move away from Bermuda later in the week and potentially move into Atlantic Canada by this upcoming weekend.







A weak tropical wave currently over the western Caribbean will drift westward through the Yucatan Peninsula during the middle of this week and emerge into the southern Gulf of Mexico for the latter and end of the week. Some guidance suggests that there is a chance this disturbance will acquire tropical characteristics once it move into the southern Gulf of Mexico later this week.

Regardless of development, an enhanced threat for heavier showers and storms will exist across the Yucatan Peninsula through the middle of the week. This will be an area that will have to be monitored.
