A complex weather dance is underway in the central Atlantic Ocean this week as a pair of developing tropical systems try to get their act together.

The storm, the second Atlantic hurricane of the season, is expected to move away from the United States, but its swells may cause dangerous rip currents along the East Coast.

Two strong waves in the Atlantic Ocean are showing signs of development as Hurricane Gabrielle begins to weaken.

Forecasters are tracking a pair of tropical waves in the Atlantic Ocean that could develop over the coming days. Here's what to know.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking Gabrielle, now a Category 3 hurricane, along with Invest 93 and Invest 94. Hurricane Gabrielle is headed toward the Azores and is expected to threaten Europe afterward. Invests 93 and 94 are expected to develop into tropical depressions this week.

Gabrielle, already a major hurricane, continued to strengthen on Monday night as it was passing east of Bermuda, the National Hurricane Center said.

The tropics have awakened as more disturbances continue developing, with increasing odds of becoming named tropical storms within the week.

Two tropical systems could churn to life this week as Atlantic hurricane season enters its final months and the hot spots to watch for storm development begin to move closer to home.
