Tropical Weather Forecast - September 23, 2025
Hurricane Gabrielle has become a textbook, intense major hurricane in the Atlantic - it is not affecting land, so is just a sight to behold. Elsewhere, two tropical waves, Invest 94L & 93L, are very close together east of the Caribbean and both pose a slight risk to the East Coast of the US with no threat to Texas. In Asia, Typhoon Ragasa will pass just south of Hong Kong with 140mph winds, so the southern coast of China is bracing for high winds and very large waves.

Tropical Weather Forecast: Watching Hurricane Gabrielle, other possible storm development
Hurricane Gabrielle is passing by Bermuda today as it has blown up into a massive major category 4 hurricane. But it's moving away from the U.S. and will not affect land over the next 4 days. It is expected to roll over the Azores late Thursday and Friday with winds still around 70 miles per hour. The remnant low could bring rain to places like France or Spain in about 6-7 days. Elsewhere, we're watching two tropical waves in the Atlantic and both have a decent chance to become tropical storms this week. They are both very far from Texas and look like a concern for the East Coast from Florida to North Carolina by this weekend.
