Is there a hurricane forming in the Atlantic?

Asked 1 hour ago

Answer

Meteorologists are closely monitoring two areas in the Atlantic for tropical development. One system is highly likely to become the next named storm, Gabrielle, and could impact Bermuda in about a week. Another system has a lower chance of development. Forecasts suggest the primary system could become a hurricane by early next week.

Later this week, this is when it's going to develop in here, probably a tropical depression. And then the weekend, I think it's a storm, should be a hurricane by early next week.

There is a decent chance of becoming our next tropical depression or storm. If it becomes a storm, the next name on the list is Gabrielle.
