Despite forecasts of an exceptionally busy Atlantic storm season, the recent lull was broken this weekend as Tropical Storm Gabrielle finally got her Hurricane lapels badge as a Category 1 storm.

Current projections show her tracking north, then east — sparing both the Caribbean and U.S. eastern seaboard. As Gabrielle moves into cooler seas and stronger wind shear, she’ll lose intensity, but the Azores may still face storm surge and heightened winds toward the end of the week.

Mother Nature always keeping the meteorologists on their toes…
