Tropical Storm Gabrielle was a short-lived tropical cyclone. The seventh named storm of the 2007 Atlantic hurricane season, Gabrielle developed as a subtropical cyclone on September 8 about 385 miles (620 km) southeast of Cape Lookout, North Carolina. Unfavorable wind shear affected the storm for much of its duration, although a temporary decrease in the shear allowed the cyclone to become a tropical storm. On September 9, Gabrielle made landfall at Cape Lookout National Seashore in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, United States, with winds of 60 mph (97 km/h). Turning to the northeast, the storm quickly weakened and dissipated on September 11. Tropical Storm: peak winds of 60 mph (50 knots), lowest pressure 1004 mb. September 8 – September 11, 2007.
