Tropical Storm Gabrielle Forms, Ending the Atlantic’s Strange Drought. It Could Become a Hurricane
Tropical Storm Gabrielle, the seventh named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane by the weekend amid favorable conditions, forecasters said.
- On Sep 17, 2025, the National Hurricane Center named Tropical Storm Gabrielle after upgrading Tropical Depression Seven, which formed roughly 1,000 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands in the central Atlantic.
- After a three-week lull, forecasters note Gabrielle ends the quiet period in Atlantic hurricane season as NOAA and National Hurricane Center expect warmer seas and less shear in the coming weeks.
- Currently, the system is moving north-northwest at 22 mph with maximum sustained winds near 45 mph and gusts to 60 mph, satellite imagery shows a disorganized, poorly defined center with no watches or warnings.
- The NHC predicts Gabrielle may become a hurricane by this weekend while most models keep it well east of the United States East Coast, though rip currents and rough surf could affect the area and Bermuda should monitor a possible close approach.
- Looking ahead, seasonal forecasts suggest Gabrielle is the seventh named storm after a 20-day lull, with AccuWeather predicting 13-16 named storms and six to nine hurricanes through late September and October.
