Tropical Storm Bertha to make landfall Wednesday
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is monitoring Tropical Strom Bertha, which is expected to make landfall on Wednesday. He said most of the rainy, windy weather associated with the storm is to the south of the center of Bertha. According to Weber the wind shear is keeping the system from intensifying. After making landfall, the tropical storm will continue moving west-northwest along the coastline of Louisiana and Texas.

Tropical Storm Bertha heads toward Louisiana
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching Tropical Storm Bertha, which formed on Monday night. He said the system is getting better organized and strengthened. As of 11 a.m. on Tuesday, it had winds of 60 mph and was moving north-northwest at three miles per hour. Weber added that it will begin weakening on Wednesday as it works its way toward the Louisiana coast.

Tropical Storm Bertha expected to form in Gulf
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on Tropical Depression Two. He said that while it is getting better organized, it is still a disorganized system. Weber said the storm is dealing with wind shear and there are obstacles in its way that is preventing it from developing quickly. However, it is expected to become Tropical Storm Bertha this week. Weber added that winds were at 35 mph around 11:30 a.m. on Monday and it was moving northwest at three miles per hour. A tropical storm watch is up from the Florida Panhandle to Louisiana.

Tropical Depression Two forms in Gulf
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills says portions of the Florida Panhandle are under a Tropical Storm Watch after the tropical disturbance elevated to Tropical Depression Two. Mills says she will be watching out for tropical storm conditions for Monday and Tuesday. She says the development will travel along the Gulf coast further into the week. She says this will most likely become our next named storm, Bertha.

Unsettled Gulf weather moves toward Florida
FOX 13 meteorologist Valerie Mills says unsettled weather in the Gulf will be affecting Florida for the next few days. She says she is watching it for tropical development, but the odds are still low. Mills says there is a 20% chance of development in the next 2 days, while there’s a 30% chance in the next 7.

Gulf system to bring downpours to Florida
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is continuing to watch an area in the Gulf that is expected to bring much-needed rain to Florida this weekend. He said the system will likely drift to the north and northwest and will linger before heading to the northeast. He said to get a tropical depression, or a tropical storm there needs to be winds and a closed low and he is not seeing that in the models yet. Weber is also tracking a system off the coast of Africa that has a 10% chance of developing over the next week. He says it will likely enter a hostile environment and dissipate.

Rain chances increase this weekend
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is still watching an area that has been highlighted by the National Hurricane Center in the Gulf. He said there is nothing there as of Thursday morning, but over the next few days, he will be watching for the potential of an area of low pressure developing and crossing the northeastern Gulf as we head into the weekend. It has a 20% chance of developing over the next seven days. He is also watching a tropical wave off the coast of Africa that is expected to head into an area that is not favorable for any development.

Tropical downpours and rain chances increase
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching a broad area of low pressure that is expected to develop across the Northeastern Gulf. The National Hurricane Center gives is a 20% chance of developing over the next seven days. Weber says it will likely move across the upper part of the state and enter the North Carolina coastline. He added that it will increase our rain chances over the weekend.

Rain chances may increase next week
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills says the tropics are expected to remain quiet for the next few days, but she is starting to see signs of a weak area of low pressure trying to form in the Gulf this coming Sunday and next Monday and Tuesday. She said regardless of any tropical development, it is expected to increase the rain chances across the Bay Area.

Tropics expected to remain quiet
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills says the hostile jet stream caused by the El Niño in the Eastern Pacific is lending itself to fewer tropical developments in the Atlantic basin. But, Mills says the water in the Atlantic is warm enough for tropical development. She says huge plumes of Saharan dust continue to move across the Atlantic.

Dense plumes of Saharan dust travel over Florida
FOX 13 meteorologist Valerie Mills says dense plumes of Saharan dust will travel over Florida throughout the weekend. She says this will reduce the air quality in the area. Mills says the plumes greatly prevent tropical formations.

Dry air inhibits storm activity
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching the Saharan dust that is moving over Central and northern Florida. He said it is inhibiting storm activity over the state and the Gulf. Weber said no tropical formation is expected over the next seven days. He added that the dry air is expected to continue moving through the tropics through July 21, but there will be more moisture toward the end of the month.

Florida rain chances fall
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber continues to watch Saharan dust that’s making its over Florida. He says the dust is causing rain chances to drop through the weekend, which means heat will build. The dust also prohibits tropical waves from developing.

Strong El Nino predicted at peak of hurricane season
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says Colorado State University released an update to its 2026 hurricane predictions and now calls for a ‘well below average’ season with nine named storms and four hurricanes and one major hurricane due to El Nino. Weber says large plumes of Saharan dust are working their way from Africa, across the Atlantic and toward Florida. He says while the dust will lower the rain chances, it will increase the temperatures and keep the tropics quiet.

Saharan dust limits tropical development
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is watching plumes of Saharan dust that are making their way from Africa to Florida. She said Floridians will notice some of the dust later this week. She said that Saharan air layer is limiting tropical development and is about 50% drier than the typical tropical air masses that are over the Atlantic waters, which are starting to warm up.
