Hurricane Gabrielle has weakened considerably, but it is still a powerful hurricane as it progresses eastward across the Atlantic. The storm, which was a Category 4 as of Tuesday evening, has since dropped to a Category 2 with sustained winds of 100 mph.

Hurricane Gabrielle was expected to continue rapidly moving toward the Azores in the Atlantic on Wednesday, where the government has upgraded a hurricane watch to a warning.

Hurricane Gabrielle will bring dangerous wind, rain and massive waves to the Azores late this week before shifting toward Spain and Portugal as a tropical wind and rainstorm.

Hurricane Gabrielle surged up from a tropical storm not a powerful Category 4 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph in about a day.

Hurricane Gabrielle intensified into a major Category 4 storm, the second major hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season.
