However, the projected path is towards higher shear.  Strengthening to hurricane status may be difficult because of the increase in shear and because of progressively colder water along the projected path of Gert into the northern Atlantic.  There has not yet been a hurricane season in the Atlantic during which none of the first 7 named storms &#8212; &#8216;A&#8217; through &#8216;G&#8217; &#8212; achieved hurricane status.
