Hurricane Gabrielle is a strong Category 3 storm east of Bermuda, and two more potential tropical systems — one nearing the Caribbean and another farther east — could follow this week. Gabrielle, the second major hurricane in the Atlantic basin this year, was packing 125 mph winds Tuesday evening nearly 600 miles east of Bermuda. It also has a high chance to develop into a tropical depression late this week near the Bahamas. The area farther east could ultimately take a curved path similar to Gabrielle that brings it near Bermuda next week. September is the traditional peak of Atlantic hurricane season and activity often ramps up quickly this time of year.
