ORLANDO, Fla. — A tropical wave off the coast of Africa now has a 70% chance of developing into a named storm later this week or weekend.
Channel 9 meteorologists are closely monitoring the system, which is forecast to move into the Central Atlantic by early next week.
Long-range weather models, such as the GFS, are tracking the tropical wave’s development, suggesting its movement across the Atlantic.
If the system strengthens into a tropical storm, it will be named Gabrielle.
Severe Weather Center 9 will continue to monitor the system and provide updates on Eyewitness News.
