Tropical Storm Gabrielle is still combating dry air in the west/central tropical Atlantic.

This is highlighted by the lack of organized storm development around its exposed center.

Nevertheless, Gabrielle could still to strengthen into a hurricane by the beginning of next week.

A primary driver in the storms potential strengthening is the warmer sea surface temperatures that lie ahead of it.

This poses no direct threat to the United States. Bermuda is no longer within the storm’s forecast cone, but impacts are still possible for the island.

We are now only monitoring one area of potential development within the next week. A tropical wave set to emerge off the coast of Africa within the next day or so has a low 20% chance of development in the yellow shaded region within the next seven days.

The next name on our 2025 storm naming list would be Humberto if anything new were to develop.
