AccuWeather

Hurricane Gabrielle is set to steadily lose its tropical status on the way across the Atlantic to Spain, but what's going to happen next in the tropics?

00:00As we take a look to the tropics, well, Gabrielle, a Category 4 hurricane as of 5 p.m. today.

00:05It was a powerhouse, yeah, but moving east-northeast now and eventually more easterly,

00:10so it will bring some rain and wind, though it won't be a tropical system by the time it hits the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal and Spain.

00:16Yeah, no direct land impacts while it's at hurricane status.

00:19Some rip currents, some rough seas for the east coast of the U.S. over the next 24 hours or so,

00:24but it's the next two tropical waves that we're really watching.

00:27Yeah, this is going to be problematic here.

00:28One of these will become Umberto most likely, somewhat of a race against time,

00:32and counterintuitively, it's the eastern wave that has the earliest opportunity for development.

00:37Yeah, it's the western wave that has the better chance of impacting the U.S.,

00:42so we'll be watching closely, and if you're thinking, okay, do we get both at the same time,

00:46that is not the most likely scenario.

00:48Jeff's going to break down some of the more likely scenarios coming up in a couple minutes here.
