"Hurricane Gabrielle formed Sunday in the open Atlantic south-east of Bermuda while Tropical Storm Narda emerged well off southern Mexico's Pacific coast. The Miami-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Gabrielle became a category 1 hurricane after its top sustained winds rose to 75mph (120 km/h). Gabrielle was centered about 320 miles (515km) south-east of Bermuda and was moving to the north-north-west at 10mph."
"Large ocean swells kicked up by Gabrielle are affecting Bermuda and are expected to reach the eastern seaboard from North Carolina northward into Atlantic Canada over the coming days. In the Pacific, Narda emerged well offshore of Mexico on Sunday afternoon and posed no threat to land. The hurricane center said Narda had top sustained winds of about 40mph and was positioned about 240 miles south-south-east of Zihuatanejo, Mexico, while moving to the northwest at 10 mph."
