NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL       AL072013
1100 AM AST TUE SEP 10 2013

THE CONVECTIVE PATTERN OF GABRIELLE CONTINUES TO FEATURE VERY COLD
CLOUD TOPS IN A CDO TYPE FEATURE. MICROWAVE AND GEOSTATIONARY
SATELLITE IMAGERY CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THAT THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER IS
LOCATED ON THE SOUTHWESTERN SIDE OF THE DEEP CONVECTION...AND THIS
STRUCTURE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE 25 KT OR SO OF SOUTHWESTERLY SHEAR
ANALYZED OVER THE SYSTEM BY UW-CIMSS. THE INITIAL INTENSITY REMAINS
35 KT IN AGREEMENT WITH THE LATEST DVORAK CLASSIFICATIONS FROM TAFB
AND SAB. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE AIRCRAFT WILL INVESTIGATE GABRIELLE
THIS AFTERNOON TO PROVIDE MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON THE EXACT
LOCATION AND STRENGTH OF THE CYCLONE.

THE ENVIRONMENT WILL REMAIN MARGINAL FOR STRENGTHENING DURING THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...AS GABRIELLE REMAINS OVER SSTS ABOVE 27C WITH
MODERATE SOUTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY VERTICAL SHEAR. THE NHC
INTENSITY FORECAST IS UNCHANGED FROM THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY AND IS
CLOSE TO THE CONSENSUS AIDS FOR THE FIRST 48 HOURS. LATE IN THE
PERIOD...THE GLOBAL MODELS SHOW LITTLE CHANGE IN INTENSITY DURING
AND AFTER EXTRATROPICAL TRANSITION...WHICH SHOULD BE COMPLETE BY 96
HOURS. GABRIELLE SHOULD DISSIPATE OR BE ABSORBED BY DAY 5.

THE INITIAL MOTION ESTIMATE IS 360/10...AS THE CYCLONE IS CURRENTLY
SITUATED BETWEEN A MID-LEVEL RIDGE TO THE EAST AND A MID/UPPER-
LEVEL LOW TO THE WEST. THE FORWARD MOTION OF GABRIELLE WILL SLOW AS
THE STEERING FLOW WEAKENS...AND THE CYCLONE SHOULD TURN GRADUALLY
TOWARD THE NORTHWEST BY 48 HOURS. LATER IN THE PERIOD...GABRIELLE
WILL ACCELERATE NORTHEASTWARD AHEAD OF A DEEP-LAYER TROUGH MOVING
INTO EASTERN NORTH AMERICA IN 3-4 DAYS. THE NHC FORECAST IS LARGELY
AN UPDATE OF THE PREVIOUS ONE THROUGH 48 HOURS AND THEN TRENDS A
LITTLE SLOWER AT DAYS 3 AND 4...LYING BETWEEN THE FASTER ECMWF AND
THE SLOWER TVCA MULTI-MODEL CONSENSUS.
