The storm was located about 955 miles (1,540 kilometers) east of the northeast Caribbean on Monday. It had top winds of 35 mph (55 kph) and was moving west at 6 mph (9 kph).
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Gordon could strengthen back into a tropical storm after it heads north-northeast, away from land.
Gordon formed during the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season that began on June 1 and ends on Nov. 30. It is the season's seventh named storm.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted an above-average Atlantic hurricane season this year because of record warm ocean temperatures. It forecast 17 to 25 named storms, with four to seven major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher.
