Gabrielle is more organized
IR satellite imagery indicates that a large area of convection has built near and east of the circulation center. Even though it continues to fight westerly wind shear, it is beginning to weaken. For the first time in about 36 hours imo the 50 mph official wind estimate seems reasonable.

Gabrielle is considerably stronger
Visible satellite imagery shows that Gabrielle is now a classic looking hurricane with a distinct eye and strong outflow. Yesterday the eye was forming and this trend of organization has continued today. Gabrielle may continue to strengthen as it moves east, away from Bermuda. Bermuda radar shows an outer band slightly more than 100km (60 mi) to the east.
