Hurricane #Gabrielle Advisory 34A: Gabrielle Racing Eastward Toward the Azores. Expected to Bring Hurricane Conditions to the Azores Tonight Or Early Friday. https://t.co/tW4KeGdBFb

[National Hurricane Center @NHC_Atlantic]

8 am EDT - In addition to #Humberto and #Gabrielle, NHC continues to monitor #94L located near the Dominican Republic. This system has a chance of becoming a tropical depression in the vicinity of the central and northwest Bahamas during the next couple of days. Interests in the southeast U.S., and the Bahamas should monitor its progress. https://t.co/Wq6ZtKfHp9

Knowing what you don’t know can actually make you the smartest (and safest) person on the shore. Watch to learn how to "read" the beach environment — especially the swash zone, where breaking waves and flowing water can hide rip currents and other hazards: https://t.co/ZK8XmS2Yzs
