Is Gabrielle forming in the Atlantic? See path tracker, forecast

The National Hurricane Center said in an advisory Sept. 15 it is tracking a tropical wave over a portion of the Atlantic Ocean that is producing showers and thunderstorms.

The center's forecasters said the system will begin to move into a "more favorable" environment for development in the next couple of days, and a tropical depression is likely to form later this week as the system moves west-northwestward over the Atlantic between the coasts of Africa and the Caribbean.
