HOLT, Fla., Sept. 4, 2019—Tropical Storm Gabrielle formed early this morning over the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

This is the seventh named storm of the 2019 hurricane season.

For the next 5 days, Gabrielle is forecast to move generally northwestward.

Afterward that period, the NHC doesn’t expect any more strengthening.

The tropical wave expected to emerge later today over the far eastern tropical Atlantic has finally shown up on the west African coast.

Environmental conditions are forecast to become mostly favorable for development late this week and this system has the potential to become a tropical depression during the weekend or early next week, according to the NHC.
