Gabrielle is now a major hurricane, but there are also two other areas we're watching closely for tropical development in the Atlantic this week. Here's the latest forecast.

Beryl grew from a tropical depression with 35 mph winds into a major hurricane with 115 mph winds in under 42 hours. It ultimately made landfall three times, in Grenada, Quintana Roo and Texas, peaking at Category 5 at one point.
