The Atlantic Basin woke up after an almost three-week slumber. After Gabrielle, we're watching another tropical wave for development. Here's the latest.

The Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean are inactive, so it's fair to ask: Can Texas can stand down early, even with two months left in hurricane season?

Gabrielle is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane as it tracks east of Bermuda and later turns northeast into the open Atlantic

Tropical Storm Gabrielle has officially formed in the Atlantic, marking the end of an unusual quiet stretch during the peak of hurricane season. The storm is currently tracking toward Bermuda and could strengthen into a hurricane in the coming days.

The Bermuda High's eastern position is steering storms out to sea, but a westward shift could drive hurricanes toward Texas and the Gulf Coast.
