Tropical Update: Gabrielle Formation Expected
The National Hurricane Center reports an 80% chance of tropical depression or storm formation within 48 hours, with potential impacts mainly at sea and low risk to the US coast.
- On Wednesday, the National Hurricane Center reported Tropical Depression Seven formed between the Lesser Antilles and Africa; forecasters say it will soon become Tropical Storm Gabrielle and may strengthen into a hurricane.
- After a nearly three-week lull following Tropical Storm Fernand on August 28, forecasters note potential disturbances arise during the peak Atlantic hurricane season from mid-September through mid-October.
- The National Hurricane Center currently gives about a 20 percent chance of development over the next seven days, while other forecasts assign 80 percent within 48 hours and 90 percent within seven days, and global forecast models remain divided.
- Current guidance suggests Tropical Storm Gabrielle could threaten Bermuda early next week but is unlikely to impact mainland U.S., with Texas's hurricane window closing but not yet closed.
- Forecasters will track the three tropical waves closely as one may develop next week, and residents in vulnerable areas are advised to review evacuation plans and stock emergency supplies now.
