Atlantic's New Tropical Storm, Gabrielle, Emerges: Follow its Course, Movement, and Radar Images

In an atypical turn of events, the Atlantic has seen a prolonged period of inactivity from August 28 to September 16, a rarity compared to regular tropical seasons. This stretch of inactivity may occur only every few decades. However, the calm was broken this morning as Tropical Depression #7 was upgraded to Tropical Storm Gabrielle by the National Hurricane Center (NHC).

The system that became Tropical Storm Gabrielle is very far from Texas and the rest of the U.S., with its current path potentially affecting Bermuda. The organization's 10 a.m. advisory provided the latest information about Gabrielle.

Initially disorganized, Gabrielle's strengthening may be hard to determine for a day or two. If it reaches wind speeds of 75 miles per hour or higher, it would become the second hurricane of this season. However, the future intensity of Gabrielle remains less clear.

The absence of named storms in the Atlantic from August 28 to September 16 is unusual and infrequent. In fact, the period without named storms is exceptional, happening seldomly. This inactivity in the Atlantic is quite rare compared to typical seasons.

The main land area that could be affected by Tropical Storm Gabrielle is Bermuda, not the U.S. It's important to note that Gabrielle's current path does not pose a threat to Texas.

The NHC transformed Tropical Storm Gabrielle from Tropical Depression #7, and Gabrielle could potentially become the season's 2nd hurricane. The organization will continue to monitor Gabrielle closely and provide updates as necessary.

As always, it's crucial to stay informed and prepared during the tropical season. The public is advised to follow the latest advisories from the National Hurricane Center and local authorities for updates on Gabrielle and any potential threats to their areas.
