Tropics:

Tropical Depression Gabrielle: Gabrielle made landfall on Sunday morning at Cape Lookout, North Carolina. Tropical storm Gabrielle did bring gusty winds and heavy rain to the Outer Banks of North Carolina on Sunday. Gabrielle was downgraded to a tropical depression early this morning. The depression will pull away from the United States today.

Tropical wave (91L):

A tropical wave located about 950 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands has the chance to become our next tropical depression this week. There is a large area of thunderstorms with the tropical wave. The wave will continue to move west in the open Atlantic. Most of the tropical computer models develop the wave into a tropical storm in five days.
