Tropics may heat up when Saharan dust breaks up
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is keeping an eye on the tropics, which are expected to remain quiet over the next seven days thanks to a layer of Saharan air. Mills says the Saharan air layer, which is 50 % drier than the typical air, makes it difficult for a tropical system to develop. However, once that dust breaks down, the Atlantic waters will be about 3-5 degrees warmer than normal, and Mills says that will offer up a lot of fuel for storms. The next named storm in the Atlantic will be Francine. Mills noted that while the Atlantic is quiet, the Pacific is active, with three named storms swirling as La Nine begins to emerge.
