Tropical activity expected to ramp up
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says all is quiet in the tropics right now, but he expects things to pick up as we move through the 2023 hurricane season. He says there is a large area of dust off the coast of Africa that is expected to work its way across the Atlantic. That dust combined with wind shear is not conducive to tropical development at the moment.

Hurricanes expected in 2023 increases as water heats up
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says Colorado State has updated its 2023 hurricane season forecast and is now predicting more named storms and hurricanes. Even though El Nino is expected to peak as the season goes on, warm waters in the Atlantic and Caribbean will counteract the effects of El Nino. However, Weber says things are quiet in the tropics right now.

Lighter wind shear in Gulf of Mexico
Storms are not expected to form over the next week since conditions are not ideal. If lighter wind shear and warm waters continue then chances of tropical developments will increase.

Higher sea surface temps may impact hurricane season
The tropics are expected to be quiet over the next week. However, sea surface temperatures are so far above average that an increase in the number of storms is possible.

Tropical development quelled by Saharan Dust
Saharan dust continues to work against any tropical development. The National Hurricane Center is reported no development is expected over the next seven days.

Saharan Dust helps quiet the Atlantic
FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is continuing the monitor the tropics this weekend as we kick off the second month of Hurricane Season 2023.

Weak tropical systems stunted by Saharan air
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching an area of low pressure in the tropics that has a 10 percent chance of developing over the next seven days. He says strong winds are expected to prevent it from developing though. According to Weber there are some weak tropical waves making their way off the coast of Africa, but the Saharan air is keeping them from forming.

Tropical Storm Cindy remnants have dissipated
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says it?s pretty quiet in the tropics right now. He says the remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy have dissipated and are no longer an issue. However, he is watching one issue in the Atlantic. It doesn?t look like much will happen with it, but it does have a 20 percent chance of developing over the next seven days.

New tropical disturbance being watched in Atlantic
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on two areas in the Atlantic- the remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy and a disturbance to the south and east, which has a 20 percent chance of development over the next week. However, he says it is a long shot that either system will develop due to high wind shear in the area. Weber says the good news is that if a new system does develop, it will likely stay out to sea.

Will Tropical Storm Cindy redevelop?
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says things are quiet in the Atlantic right now as dry air makes its way up toward the remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy. Weber says there is a small chance that the remnants may find itself in more conducive conditions and may try to redevelop. Yet, he says most computer models show that there is just a small window in which redevelopment can take place and even if it did form again, it would not impact the United States.

Tropical Storm Cindy remnants may try to regenerate
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching an area of dry air coming off the coast of Africa because he says the remnants of Tropical Storm Cindy may try to regenerate as it makes its way north. Weber says it is too soon to tell if we will see a Cindy part two, but it has a 30% chance of developing over the next week.

Tropical Storms Bret and Cindy continue to weaken
Fox 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku Is watching one area of tropical concern: Cindy. He says that Tropical Storm Bret has been torn apart, and there are no more advisories regarding the storm. Tropical storm Cindy also has little time left, according to Tony. He says that it is moving fast but is expected to weaken heading into Monday. Don would be the next storm on the list, but Tony does not see that storm developing anytime soon.

Tropical storms Bret and Cindy continue to weaken
FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is watching two tropical storms- Bret and Cindy. He says that Bret is moving west and losing strength as it continues to be plagued by wind shear. He says this system has only 24-36 hours left. Tropical Storm Cindy did strengthen overnight, but it is expected to weaken as it encounters wind shear. Tony says that Don would be the next storm. At the moment, he does not see any development areas anytime soon.

Tropical Storm Cindy gains strength as Tropical Storm Bret weakens
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching two tropical storms- Bret and Cindy. He says wind shear is going to cause Tropical Storm Bret to fall apart as we head into the weekend. He says Tropical Storm Cindy, on the other hand, is just ramping up. However, wind shear will eventually be the demise of this storm as well and it is expected to fall apart over open water. Weber is also watching a tropical wave that has worked its way off the coast of Africa though it shows no signs of developing over the next several days.

TD 4 forms; Bret remains just shy of a hurricane
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Bret and Tropical Depression #4, which formed early Thursday morning. Tropical Storm Bret?s wind speed are just five miles an hour shy of becoming a hurricane. However, Weber says if it does become a hurricane it will be short-lived as it heads into the Caribbean and begins to battle wind shear. Tropical Depression #4 is trailing behind the tropical storm and as of 11 a.m. it had wind speeds of 35 miles an hour. If winds reach 40 miles per hour, Tropical Depression #4 will become Tropical Storm Cindy, which may happen on Thursday.

Tropical Storm Bret sets sights on Lesser Antilles
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says the tropics are active as he keeps an eye on Tropical Storm and Invest 93L, which is likely to develop into a tropical system within the next two days. Weber says wind shear will create a hostile environment for both storms, but Invest 93L will also head into warm waters that are conducive for further development. He says Tropical Storm Brett may weaken due to wind shear if it tracks a little south, but if it tracks north without the wind shear it may develop into a hurricane.

Tropical depression likely to become hurricane
Fox 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says a tropical depression working its way across the Atlantic is likely to become a hurricane. Weber says that over the next few days, the depression will continue to move towards the east and strengthen. A few modules have the storm moving south, while others have the storm staying farther to the north. Weber says there are still many question marks surrounding this storm. However, he adds that at this point, none of the modules indicate that there would be any effects over the U.S.

Tropical storm beginning to form in the Atlantic
Fox 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is keeping an eye on a tropical storm forming in the Atlantic. The second named storm of the season would be Bret. Tony says that a storm could form sometime during the middle of the week. Conditions are favorable, and models show the storm turning out to sea. At the moment, nothing is set in stone with the path the storm will take.

Fox Meteorologist Tony Sadiku provides an update on the tropics
Fox 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku provides an update on a tropical wave we are keeping an eye on in the Atlantic. Tony says it is nothing to worry about right now. However, the National Weather Service indicates it could develop into a depression or named system. If that were to happen, it would likely not be for a couple of days, and it is too early to specify any details.
