Hurricane Gabrielle Poses No Threat; Manatee County Continues to Monitor Developing Systems

County resources to keep you informed

Manatee County officials are keeping a close eye on activity in the Atlantic as hurricane season progresses. Hurricane Gabrielle is forecast to remain over open waters, posing no threat to the United States.

Behind Gabrielle, a tropical disturbance highlighted in orange has a 10% chance of development within the next 48 hours. A second system, marked in red, carries a 20% chance of formation within 48 hours and a 70% chance within the next seven days. While neither system currently poses a risk to Manatee County, officials stress the importance of staying alert during peak hurricane season.

The Manatee County Public Safety Department provides residents with real-time updates and preparedness information through multiple platforms. Residents can download the Manatee 311 app for storm alerts, evacuation details, and preparedness tips. In addition, the county uses its website, social media pages, and Alert Manatee notification system to share urgent messages via phone, text, or email.

Emergency officials encourage residents to review hurricane plans, check supplies, and sign up for these communication tools to stay informed should conditions change.
