The storm then moved west-northwest, and on September 25, Gladys strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson hurricane wind scale (SSHWS).

[2], Early on September 17, the storm began to rapidly intensify. Gladys steadly intensified as it passed south of Jamaica, producing heavy rain across the island. The disturbance followed another tropical wave which became Hurricane Faye several days later, before turning west near the 11th parallel. The extratropical remnants continued northeastward into Newfoundland and dissipated later on September 25.

In the state of Virginia, one death occurred when a man was fatally struck in the throat by debris. However, early on the following day, Gladys weakened slightly to a Category 1 hurricane. After Belize landfall, Gladys weakened substantially, moving inland. Eventually, a well-defined eye became visible on satellite imagery. Thereafter, Gladys began to weaken and passed very close to Cape Race, Newfoundland before merging with a large extratropical cyclone the next day.
