We study the observability of a standard-model-like Higgs boson at the upgraded Fermilab Tevatron via the modes pp̅ →gg→hW*W*νjj and ν̅ ̅ ν. We find that, with c.m. energy of 2 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 30fb-1, the signal may be observable for the mass range of 135≲mh≲180GeV at a (3-5)σ statistical level. We conclude that the upgraded Fermilab Tevatron may have the potential to detect a standard-model-like Higgs boson in the mass range from the CERN e+e- collider LEP II reach to 180 GeV.
