Gabrielle is likely to bring some peripheral impacts to Bermuda as it moves northward through the Atlantic as a hurricane in the next few days.
We're also watching another disturbance that has just begun its journey into the Atlantic off Africa.
Here's the latest.
Gabrielle Struggling, For Now
Tropical Storm Gabrielle became the seventh named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season late Wednesday morning after first being designated as a tropical depression earlier in the morning.
It's located between Puerto Rico and Bermuda in the Central Atlantic, and is gaining latitude.
Gabrielle continues to battle strong wind shear and dry air, but Gabrielle has started a strengthening trend as environmental conditions become more favorable. This hostile environment has limited tropical development in the basin over the past three weeks, despite being in the typical peak of hurricane season.

Current Wind Shear, Forecast PathWhat's Next
Gabrielle is likely to be the second hurricane of the Atlantic season on Sunday and should be a Category 1 or 2 hurricane as it reaches the latitude of Bermuda on Monday.
High surf and rip currents will probably be the primary concerns. Some bands of rain are possible, but the storm is expected to be lopsided with most of the rain located east and away from Bermuda.
Current Status And Projected Path
Fortunately, Gabrielle is not expected to be a mainland U.S. threat.

Next System Off West Coast Of Africa
The National Hurricane Center is also keeping an eye on another tropical wave that will cross the Atlantic with a similar track to Gabrielle.
There is a medium change of development during the next seven days. It may have to face the same hostile conditions that Gabrielle faced recently.

NHC Development Chance
Gabrielle was the first active Atlantic tropical storm in 20 days, since Fernand was designated a post-tropical cyclone on August 28.
Even though we are past the statistical peak of hurricane season, it does not mean we can let our guard down yet. We still typically see the highest amount of tropical activity from mid-September through mid-October. Now is the time to make sure you have all of your supplies in order.
