Well, its going to be a busy week!!! Looking at vis on Gabrielle... its about to make second landfall on the mainland of NC... it crossed the sounds and should come ashore again near swanquater, and head up towards Elizabeth City, then out to the NE into the atlantic. Shear seems to have gotten the system, late yesterday evening, the mid-upp level, could never get back over the center of the low level. No covection never was able to wrapp around the center... 92L is looking a little better this afternoon.

**1:45pm cdt... Cleary, based on sat and level II radar data... Gabrielle has made the second landfall along NC.. mainland.... Vis floater *** i don't think NHC will make an adv., but will mention it in the 5pm adv pkg.
