Gabrielle.&nbsp;<br><br><br>AccuWeather\u00ae hurricane experts are currently monitoring four areas at risk of tropical development potential in the Atlantic basin: a low-risk area in the Gulf, a second off the East Coast of the United States, a medium-risk area in the Atlantic and a high-risk area in the Atlantic. &nbsp;<br><br><br>\u201cA large plume of dust is moving off the African coast late this week. That dust plume will traverse the main development area of the Atlantic, where development is expected to occur through the middle of the week,\u201d AccuWeather\u00ae Senior Meteorologist Chad Merrill explained. \u201cBeyond the middle of next week, the dust train drops off significantly. We see an eventual favorable environment for thunderstorm clusters coming off the coast of Africa. The timeline for any potential impact to the Caribbean or the U.S. is Aug. 17 to 22.\u201d&nbsp;<br><br><br>Merrill says the area with a high risk of tropical development potential in the Atlantic is not expected to pose a direct threat to the U.S. at this time. &nbsp;<br><br><br>\u201cThere is a high potential for low pressure to become a tropical depression or tropical storm in the central Atlantic. The timeline for development is this weekend into early next week,\u201d Merrill explained. \u201cAt this time, there appears to be no direct threat to the U.S. from this low pressure, as it will get caught in the main steering flow of the jet stream and recurve somewhere near or east of Bermuda.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br><br>The tropics were unusually quiet throughout August and into early September in 2024. AccuWeather\u00ae hurricane experts say the activity expected this August is normal, compared to historical averages. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net\/ls\/click?upn=u001.gqh-2BaxUzlo7XKIuSly0rC7mDnvP1oO0OZC-2FJCPpiiBkQf1xoSRRiGWo8FyKVvRy0hvy-2FstxSfVzTvsS1WTb7IQh0sdzM-2BPAAJ064rvjXVVfIDqpun2HFfZ91Rhg4z6-2FPnHuTrKDM4DjLBFDmFfyxgFW4TyTNWfT6BKPU8MVj4btI2ByWPb-2BF3MSNvez-2Fdi-2BIB-zF_-2B-2B4nqqTHzm5ZlUBUYc6g48CyhYpGaHL-2FtWPwUDxYsMSDOfejJLhDEJdz3uoes6D31eF68nY9oI9RzPHflJZ12u70G86yoL4SmkjJJONKkkaGzmsy9kXHOteT242JfyXvUNQIJgx2LzYyK8C2k2dNPZHkA9ABqcyUpie-2BpQ9P7Fd9SJ15fZUA0atiDkDoK5OOqaYvTde84EgsG5aAwnaKVgFZLuAA9ppere5oZbNTkAF9hLrfmD7GY7So-2FIzhAYLn7LM1J-2FEXkMCPhOwlAWKkfCwyVAI9wl3ZLyXZGSconglkh37ngAuBSyDt-2BTpipLtIFB5CaXIsgAl6uP5y71edZoiCCvotwBTYWCQklT2vbGE-3D\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ci3.googleusercontent.com\/meips\/ADKq_NaO-qcH47bspcJXAVm59xjYbOsrQ3szuseSRnIw4xDHt1oKjUMS279QNf_5kLOczQp3xIdu59S13ANm6FgqfLrhxJJ0eS5r2EOZuaAeYarBLh64pCNEbUiMJxhROrj6xhNURSGvNqGWqOAYjmIqmvGkpb3PrU2lcruGvuNABBw=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/us.vocuspr.com\/Publish\/518912\/vcsPRAsset_518912_128432_3632ec1b-a6a4-4910-8b03-14e8718b02f3_0.jpg\" alt=\"Tropical Wave Train.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTropical Storm Dexter has been our only named storm in the Atlantic so far this month.

AccuWeather\u00ae will be monitoring this tropical wave closely, since it may come within close proximity to the Caribbean and possibly the East Coast of the U.S. by mid- to late August.&#8221;<br><br><br>AccuWeather\u00ae hurricane experts say much of the central and eastern Gulf Coast, as well as the Atlantic coast from South Florida to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and Virginia Beach face a low risk of tropical rain and wind impacts at times through mid- to late August. &nbsp;<br><br><br>&#8220;Erin and Fernand will likely develop within the next two weeks,&#8221; Merrill said.&nbsp;&#8220;We typically see four named storms form in the Atlantic basin during the month of August.
