Two systems are brewing in the Atlantic, and one has the potential to become Tropical Storm Gabrielle — or possibly even a hurricane.

Not a single named storm has formed in the Atlantic Ocean in nearly three weeks, even though it’s the peak of hurricane season.

As of the center’s 8 a.m. tropical outlook, the area low-pressure with showers and thunderstorms has become better organized since Monday in the central tropical Atlantic about midway between the Caribbean’s Windward Islands and the west coast of Africa.

A low-pressure system churning over the Atlantic Ocean is poised to become this year's next named storm. Fortunately for us, forecasters expect the system to curve away from the U.S. as it develops, a path that a majority of this year's six named storms have followed, mercifully avoiding direct hits to land.

A tropical depression is likely to form in the Atlantic this week as a coastal storm threatens the mid-Atlantic with strong wind and flooding rain. Meanwhile, America’s heartland will see summerlike temperatures.

One of the three weather systems is likely to strengthen into Tropical Storm Gabrielle and is currently in the mid-Atlantic.
