A tropical depression or Tropical Storm Gabrielle is likely to form in the central Atlantic in the next day or two.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking three tropical waves in the Atlantic basin, which covers the northern Atlantic, Gulf and Caribbean.

Hurricane Erin, now a Category 2 hurricane, won't make landfall on the U.S. East Coast, but it will impact residents and visitors at North Carolina's Outer Banks.

The massive storm is expected to bring coastal flooding and tropical storm conditions to parts of the mid-Atlantic despite not making landfall.
