THE STORM-MOTION-RELATIVE CENTER OF GABRIELLE BECAME A LITTLE EASIER

ADVISORY.

THE REMNANTS OF GABRIELLE ARE MOVING RAPIDLY TOWARD THE NORTH-
NORTHEAST AT ABOUT 30 KT. THE DYNAMICAL MODELS REMAIN IN GOOD
AGREEMENT THAT THE REMNANT TROUGH WILL MOVE RAPIDLY TOWARD THE
NORTH-NORTHEAST AHEAD OF A DEEP LAYER TROUGH OVER THE EASTERN
UNITED STATES AND CANADA FOR THE NEXT DAY OR SO...BEFORE BEING
ABSORBED BY AN APPROACHING COLD FRONT. ALTHOUGH THE SURFACE
CIRCULATION HAS DISSIPATED...HEAVY RAIN AND POSSIBLE GALE
CONDITIONS ARE STILL EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF ATLANTIC CANADA TODAY
AND TOMORROW.
