FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes gave an update on two tropical waves - one in the Atlantic and one in the Caribbean. One spinning towards the Gulf of Mexico could become a tropical depression but won't pose much of an issue for the U.S. The second wave, still quite far away from the U.S. and Florida, is expected to form over the weekend and could become the second named storm of the season.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes is tracking two tropical waves. One is in the Central Caribbean that has a slight chance of developing over the next week as it travels west toward Mexico. The second tropical wave is more than 3,000 miles from Florida and is making its way across the Atlantic. He said it has a 30% chance of developing over the next seven days. However, a layer of Saharan dust making its way off the coast of Africa is keeping things dry and making it difficult for tropical systems to develop.

Saharan dust may reach Florida this weekend
video

FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is tracking the first round of Saharan dust making its way off the coast of Africa. She says as the dust moves west toward Florida, it will squash any tropical waves that try to develop. That?s because the Saharan dust is 50 percent drier than a typical moist air mass that meteorologists would typically see this time of year. She says some of the Saharan air will make its way to the coast of Florida this weekend, which may reduce the air quality. Mills noted that there is one wave on the edge of the Saharan air that has a low chance of development at the moment. However, it may develop more tropical characteristics as it moves west toward Mexico.

Saharan dust keeps tropics quiet

FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is keeping an eye on the tropics, which are quiet at the moment. She says there is quiet a bit of Saharan dust moving off the coast of Africa and into the Atlantic and that will limit any waves that may try to develop because they would have to contend with the drier air. Mills says she does not expect anything to develop in the tropics over the next week.
