Tropical Storm Gabrielle becomes 7th named storm of Atlantic season; NHC tracks 2 more systems
Tropical Storm Gabrielle formed Wednesday forecast to become a hurricane in the Atlantic, but there is no immediate threat to land, according to the National Hurricane Center, which was also tracking two more systems.
One of the three weather systems is likely to strengthen into Tropical Storm Gabrielle and is currently in the mid-Atlantic.
Located roughly midway between the Windward Islands and the west coast of Africa as of 7 a.m., the system is expected to become a tropical depression or storm within the next day or two. As of 7 a.m., it had a 90% chance of forming in the next 48 hours, according to the NHC.
There are two areas of interest far out in the tropical Atlantic. While we are mostly dry and quiet, the tropical Atlantic heats up as we will likely see Tropical storm Gabrielle form in the next 24 hours or less. No threats to the Gulf coast. pic.twitter.com/HNbOjbJJxD
