Just a wee little bit longer tho, and we'll see what NHC wants to do with this one, at this time.



Per the STDS issued just a few minutes ago, the plane will continue to investigate the system for awhile longer, and a subtropical or tropical cyclone could form *at any time*. The statement also says that tropical storm watches could be issued this evening.

I read this to mean that winds are sufficient for the system to be named Gabrielle, but that the aircraft has not been able to close off the low - yet, at least.
