Gabby Update
At 7:00 PM CDT, Gabby was about 125 miles southeast of Moorehead City, North Carolina moving northwest at about 8 MPH. Doppler radar winds are sustained at 45 MPH and the pressure was 1009 MB or 29.80″. Over the last 2 hours, convection has begun to wrap around the center. The temperature inside the center is 3 degrees Celcius warmer than in the convection. This is enough to classify Gabby as a pure tropical system. Unless something changes before a brief landfall Sunday afternoon, Gabby will not reach hurricane force. After reaching the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Gabby will turn northeast out into the open Atlantic. Remember, keep the other eye open on the Gulf of Mexico as the fooling around continues. More tomorrow…

For now, here is some satellite imagery of Humberto before he makes landfall in Texas. I’ll be posting imagery of Tropical Depression 8 (which very well could become Ingrid, more from Bruce later) either very late tonight or tomorrow for you. […]
