After some struggles, Gabrielle is forecast to strengthen and bring wind, rain, and rough surf to Bermuda, with indirect impacts possible for the Caribbean and U.S. East Coast. A new threat may arise in the Caribbean.

Warmer water temperatures and other weather factors are expected to increase the potential for hurricanes in the Gulf. AccuWeather's outlook here.

The unusually quiet Atlantic is starting to become more conducive for tropical systems to develop, forecasters say.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking two systems in the Atlantic basin, including a new one moving into the Gulf.

If maximum sustained winds reach at least 39 mph, it would become Tropical Storm Gabrielle, the seventh named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.

AccuWeather meteorologists are tracking several potential trouble spots, including a system near the Carolinas, a tropical wave in the central Atlantic, and a zone stretching from the western Caribbean to the Gulf of Mexico.

A tropical wave in the central Atlantic has a high chance of strengthening over the next seven days — possibly becoming Tropical Storm Gabrielle.

Very warm waters, steering currents and other factors point to the Gulf of Mexico as the main area of concern for tropical development over the next couple of weeks, AccuWeather meteorologists say.
