Gabrielle Weakens As It Moves Away From Bermuda

MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Tropical Storm Gabrielle is slowly weakening as it slowly drifts westward.

At 5 p.m., the center of the system was about 100 miles west-northwest of Bermuda. Gabrielle's maximum sustained winds had dropped to 40 mph as it moved to the west at 5 mph.

On the forecast track, the center of Gabrielle will move remain well off-shore of the U.S. and approach Nova Scotia Friday night.
