The storm is currently no threat to land, but remains an area to watch, especially for the island of Bermuda.
MIAMI — The tropical Atlantic is showing signs of increased activity Tropical Storm Gabrielle and two tropical waves.
Tropical Storm Gabrielle has formed way out in the Atlantic, about 990 miles east of the Leeward Islands. Gabrielle is moving west-northwest at 16 mph and some slow strengthening is expected over the next several days, with the storm becoming a hurricane by Sunday. Most computer models and the current forecast call for Gabrielle to curve out to sea, but Bermuda needs to keep a close eye on this system.

Currently, there are no watches or warnings in effect, and no immediate hazards affecting land.
In the far eastern Tropical Atlantic, we have two tropical waves with low development chances over the next week.
First, a tropical wave located near the Cabo Verde Islands continues producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Conditions are only marginally conducive, and any development of this system should be slow to occur while it moves westward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern and central portion of the tropical Atlantic. Regardless of development, this system will continue to bring areas of heavy rain across the Cabo Verde Islands through Thursday.
Second, a tropical wave is forecast to move off the coast of west Africa by Friday morning. Some slow development of this system is possible as it moves west-northwestward across the eastern tropical Atlantic this weekend into early next week.
