After sweeping across the Azores, Gabrielle will continue to pack a punch as it moves into Portugal as a tropical wind and rainstorm this weekend. Impacts from soaking rain will extend into Spain and Morocco, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.

Gabrielle spent several days as a powerful Category 4 hurricane over the central Atlantic earlier this week as it swung just east of Bermuda and turned to the East. The storm transitioned to a tropical wind and rainstorm as it moved across the Azores Thursday night into Friday. The Azores are a group of islands and a popular tourist destination in the west-central Atlantic. The islands are home to just under 250,000 people.
