Tropical Storm Gabrielle (2019-Sandy156)

Tropical Storm Gabrielle was a minimal tropical storm that impacted the states of Louisiana and Texas in mid-August 2019.

Meteorological history
On August 11, a low-pressure area formed in the Western Caribbean Sea. It drifted toward the Yucatan Peninsula, very gradually organizing. On August 13, it was recognized by the NHC and gave it a low chance of forming. That same day, it struck the Yucatan Peninsula as a tropical low. Once it entered the Gulf of Mexico, it started to rapidly organize abruptly. On August 15, it developed into Tropical Depression Seven, now heading north. Although in warmer waters, wind shear slightly increased causing even slower intensification. By the next day, wind shear broke though the storm, the storm started to strengthen. On the evening of August 16, it intensified into Tropical Storm Gabrielle, now approaching the state of Louisiana. The next morning, it reached its peak intensity, with 45 mph (75 km/h) winds and a minimum pressure of 1001 mbar before making its landfall at Louisiana. While at landfall, it gradually weakened, becoming a tropical depression that evening and further dissipating inland on August 18, right over Arkansas.
