Tropical Weather Update - Tropical Storm Gabrielle forms in the Atlantic

A large, but previously poorly organized tropical wave was upgraded to Tropical Depression 7 early this morning and Tropical Storm Gabrielle by late morning. This ended a rare nearly three week stretch from late August to mid-September of no tropical activity in the Atlantic basin. The forecast track shows it is most likely going to stay away from the U.S. East Coast. But it will likely pose some sort of risk to Bermuda, so keep checking back.
