Florida, Gabrielle and Hurricane

The second half of hurricane season is off to a busy start. And now Florida could be in play. John Morales looks at Invest 94L.
Hurricane Gabrielle broke a near-month drought in the Tropics. Now, exactly a week later, Humberto has formed over the central tropical Atlantic and, like its predecessor, is forecast to become the next hurricane of the season, making it only the third to gain that intensity.
Indirect impacts — such as rough surf and dangerous rip currents — may affect parts of the northeastern Caribbean, Florida and the United States during the middle to late portions of next week, according to AccuWeather. No watches or warnings associated with Gabrielle have been issued.
Gabrielle strengthened to a hurricane Sunday evening and is expected to pass east of Bermuda Monday, more than 1,000 miles from Florida.
