Tropical Storm Gabrielle Forecast Discussion Number 4

Tropical Storm Gabrielle Discussion Number   4
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL072025
1100 PM AST Wed Sep 17 2025

The overall structure of Gabrielle hasn't changed too much.  The 
cloud pattern of the cyclone consists of a large comma shape.  
GOES-19 CIRA proxy-vis imagery and a recent 17/2342 UTC ASCAT-B 
overpass clearly indicate that the surface wind center is at the 
bottom of the upper portion of the comma head.  The strongest ASCAT 
wind vectors are the same magnitudes as the pass from 12 hours 
prior, so the intensity is held at 45 kt for this advisory.

Gabrielle still has a very large and broad envelope of convection 
and winds.  It is quite atypical to see a structure like this for a 
tropical cyclone in this part of the world.  Strong westerly shear 
should continue on Thursday, then gradually abate at some point on 
Friday.  The other factor that is detrimentally impacting Gabrielle 
is the very dry air seen on water vapor imagery in the open area of 
the comma, to the south and west of the center.  Even after the 
shear abates, Gabrielle will continue moving through an environment 
of dry air through Friday, with moistening along its path over the 
weekend.  The official intensity forecast has been decreased during 
the 24-48 h period, in agreement with most of the reliable intensity 
guidance.  The new NHC intensity forecast is near the middle of the 
guidance envelope through 48 hours, then near the high end of the 
guidance thereafter, and still calls for Gabrielle to be a hurricane 
at days 4-5.

The center has jogged westward since the previous advisory, but the 
longer term motion is estimated to be west-northwestward, or 300/14 
kt.  A similar motion is expected for the next couple of days, 
followed by a gradual turn toward the west-northwest as Gabrielle 
moves on the south side of a subtropical ridge.  Over the weekend, 
the cyclone should round the southwestern periphery of the ridge and 
turn northwestward as it catches up to a slow-moving upper-level low 
that should be located just west of Gabrielle.  A northward motion 
is expected in 4-5 days as Gabrielle gets closer to the mid-latitude 
westerlies, which should induce a northeastward turn in about 5 
days.  The new NHC track forecast is shifted significantly to the 
left (southwest) of the previous forecast through 72 h but near the 
previous track again at days 4-5.  The forecast is in fairly good 
agreement with the Google Deep Mind ensemble mean through 72 h, then 
leans toward the HCCA Corrected Consensus at days 4-5.
 
Track forecast confidence remains relatively low.  This system 
should pass well east and north of the Leeward Islands, but 
interests in Bermuda should monitor forecasts during the next 
several days.

For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:

Off the Coast of Southwestern Mexico (EP96):
A broad area of low pressure located a few hundred miles off the
coast of southwestern Mexico is producing a large area of showers
and thunderstorms. Satellite-derived wind data indicate that the
circulation remains fairly well organized. Environmental conditions
are conducive for further development of this system, and a tropical
depression is likely to form in the next day or two while it moves
west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph over the central portion of the
eastern Pacific. However, the system is expected to encounter cooler
waters and a drier airmass over the weekend, which will inhibit
additional development.
*Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
*Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.
