There’s still two months left in the 2023 hurricane season and FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on the tropics. He says the biggest player this tome of year are cold fronts that work their way down south and can create an area of low pressure that may develop tropical characteristics. Weber is watching Tropical Storm Philippe, which is expected to strengthen into a hurricane toward the end of the week. However, Weber says Philippe will stay over open waters.
