WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Tropical Storm Gabrielle is regaining strength, as some thunderstorms have developed near the center and is sustaining winds of around 50 mph.

The storm will encounter strong wind shear and dry air over the next day, which could slow its track. By the weekend, conditions should improve and could become a strong storm by early next week.

Currently moving west-northwest, Gabrielle will gradually turn more north over the next few days. It looks like it will pass somewhere near Bermuda or just east.
