00:00A new tropical storm could form any moment now, and its name might be Gabrielle.

00:04But should Florida be worried?

00:06The National Hurricane Center says there's a 90% chance that Invest 92L

00:11will become a tropical depression or storm within the next 48 hours.

00:16If winds reach 39 miles per hour, it'll earn the name Tropical Storm Gabrielle,

00:21the seventh named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season.

00:25So where is it heading?

00:27Forecast models show the system will likely curve north, well before hitting the Caribbean.

00:32But don't let your guard down. Experts warn it could intensify into a hurricane,

00:36and even if it stays offshore, rip currents and rough surf could still hit Florida's coast.

00:42Meanwhile, a second tropical wave just left Africa,

00:46but it has only a 20% chance of developing over the next week.

00:50So for now, Florida isn't in direct danger. But meteorologists say it's still too early to be

00:55certain. Bottom line, it might miss us, but all it takes is one storm to change everything.

01:02Stay prepared. Stay alert.
