Tropical Storm Gonzalo Forms in Atlantic
Forecasters said 1-3 inches of rain and tropical-storm-force winds could hit the islands as Gonzalo weakens later this weekend.
- On Friday, Tropical Storm Gonzalo continued moving north-northwest near the Cabo Verde Islands with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph, becoming the seventh named storm of the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season.
- Despite passing the climatological peak on September 10, the Atlantic basin has yet to produce a hurricane, remaining unusually quiet compared to the hyperactive Pacific basin activity.
- A tropical storm warning remains in effect for the Cabo Verde islands; meanwhile, Tropical Storm Fay continues through the Central Atlantic, posing no immediate threat to land.
- Models indicate Gonzalo will likely dissipate while lifting north through the eastern Atlantic, as increasing wind shear and dry air prevent the storm from reaching the 74-mph hurricane threshold.
- National Hurricane Center advisories indicate no additional tropical systems are expected to form across the Atlantic, Caribbean, or Gulf during the next seven days, keeping the hurricane tally at zero through September.
