Tampa weather | Wednesday morning forecast
FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says Wednesday will have big time heat and a low chance of rain. The high temperature will be 93 degrees.
TAMPA, Fla. - Meteorologists are tracking three tropical systems across the Atlantic Ocean on Wednesday morning, though none currently threaten Florida.
Atlantic Tropical Weather Tracking
What we know:
A disturbance located about 1,000 miles east-northeast of Bermuda has a 50 percent chance for tropical development. This system has a brief window to form before moving over cooler water on Thursday.
The next named storm of the season will be Cristobal.
Southern Caribbean Disturbance Outlook
Why you should care:
A second disturbance located farther south recently moved off the African coast and holds a 20 percent chance of developing.
Meanwhile, a third southern system has an 80 percent chance of tropical formation as it travels west-northwest toward the islands over the coming days.
Caribbean Environmental Factors
What we don't know:
Strong wind shear caused by El Nino and dense Saharan dust could limit the stronger southern system's growth as it approaches the Caribbean.
Forecasters have not confirmed whether the disturbance will survive these limiting conditions in the long run.
