Second official hurricane this season forms
FOX 13 meteorologist Nash Rhodes shares the latest from the tropics as Gabrielle has now developed into a hurricane.
TAMPA - Gabrielle has now developed into a hurricane.
At the moment, Gabrielle is no threat to Florida, but the NHC now believes this could become a major hurricane early next week.
The storm is currently moving northwest into warmer waters and a more favorable environment for intensification.
Gabrielle will not bring any direct impacts to the United States and should pass east of Bermuda, though the island should still monitor it for fringe impacts.
The National Hurricane Center’s latest forecast is calling for this storm to become a Category 3 hurricane.
Behind Gabrielle, tropical waves are being watched for development. A tropical wave will have a low (20%) chance to form in the yellow-shaded region within the next seven days.
A separate spot now has a medium chance of forming within the next seven days.
While most weather models do not have this spot organized into a named storm, those that do steer it away from Florida (similar to Gabrielle).
Humberto is the next name to be used on our 2025 storm naming list.
