ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 Channel 9 is tracking three tropical disturbances in the Atlantic on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

7:50 a.m. update:<\/p>\n

The National Hurricane Center has increased the likelihood that two tropical waves will become named storms.<\/p>\n

The wave closer to the west has increased from 50% to 60% chances, while a wave further to the east has moved from 80% to 90%.<\/p>\n

Until they become better defined, it remains uncertain where they will eventually end up.<\/p>\n

Even if direct impact does not happen, the storms have a strong chance of increasing coastal hazards on Florida\u2019s East Coast.<\/p>\n

Channel 9 will continue to monitor all activity in the tropics and provide updates on Eyewitness News.<\/p>\n

Original report:<\/p>\n

Hurricane Gabrielle, a powerful Category 4 storm, is moving into the open Atlantic and poses no direct threat to the U.S.<\/p>\n

While Gabrielle will not directly impact Central Florida, residents can expect an increase in wave heights along the coast. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, attention is shifting to two tropical waves in the Atlantic that could develop into storms by the end of the week.<\/p>\n

One tropical wave shows signs of organization and is likely to develop by the end of the week.<\/p>\n

However, this wave is expected to follow a path similar to Gabrielle, staying out at sea.<\/p>\n

The other tropical wave is closer to the Bahamas and requires more attention. <\/p>\n

Although most models predict it will remain off the East Coast, its proximity means it could cause coastal hazards this weekend and into next week.<\/p>\n
