Hurricane Gaston has reformed, gathering strength as it moves northwestward in the Atlantic. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami says Gaston reformed as a hurricane Saturday night, clocking 140 km/h winds. Hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 30 kilometres from the centre and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 220 kilometres. There were no coastal watches or warnings in effect early Sunday. Forecasters say Gaston should slow down during the next day or so and turn northward on Monday.
