- The storm's tropical-force winds reach up to 160 miles from its center, and it is anticipated to pick up speed while weakening as it travels into cooler ocean regions away from Mexico.
- On August 1, Gil maintained maximum sustained winds near 65 mph while traveling toward the west-northwest at a speed of 16 mph, with the National Hurricane Center continuing to monitor the storm and provide updates.
