TAMPA, Fla. - The National Hurricane Center is keeping an eye on a disturbance in the Atlantic.
Meteorologists say that the disturbance may develop some subtropical characteristics during the next couple of days as it moves. However, FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says it only has a 10% chance of development over the next week thanks to cooler waters. He says even if it did develop, it is pushing off toward the east and would not pose a threat to Florida.
