Tropical disturbance in Atlantic may bring rain to Florida
video

FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is watching two areas of interest in the Atlantic basin. He says Invest 95, which originally looked like it was strengthening, now only has a 10 percent chance of developing over the next week before it dissipates. The other area he is watching only has a 20 percent chance of forming over the week as it moves west toward the coast of Florida and the Carolinas. He says he?s not too concerned about either system, but he says the second system may bring more rain to the Sunshine State over the weekend.

Post-tropical Don almost done as Invest 95 struggles to form

FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is saying goodbye to post-tropical Don as it gets ready to dissipate in cooler waters. Sadiku is monitoring Invest 95, which has a 20 percent chance of developing over the next week. He says it?s having a tough time organizing and wind shear will impact it as it moves into the Caribbean Sea.

Hurricane Don returns to tropical storm status, invest 95 loses strength
video

Fox 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is watching Tropical Storm Don, which briefly reached hurricane status on Saturday. Tony says the storm has started to deteriorate and is back to tropical storm status. Tony is also watching Invest 95, which has decreased in strength. The tropical depression is expected to take a path into the Caribbean, where wind shear should cause it to die off.

Fox 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is keeping his eye on two areas. Tony says Tropical Storm Don is still not considered a threat to anyone. He is also watching a tropical depression in the Atlantic that could turn into a tropical storm. Sadiku says there is a fifty percent chance that will happen in the next two days. The depression is surrounded by dry air, and the wind shear in its path could prevent the depression from forming into a storm.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber continues to watch Tropical Storm Don, which continues to churn in the middle of the Atlantic. He says T.S. Don has top winds of 50 miles per hour and will stay over open waters. Weber is also keeping an eye on the newly-formed Invest 95, which is working its way west off the coast of Africa. He says it has a 40 percent chance of developing over the next week and may become the next tropical depression.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Don, which continues to churn in the Atlantic Ocean. He says T.S. Don currently has winds of 50 miles an hour and it may intensify over the next few days. He adds that the tropical storm will remain over open water and will not make landfall. Weber is also watching a wave that has formed off the coast of Africa that has a 20 percent chance of development over the next week.

Tropical Storm Don to strengthen, organize

Tropical Storm Don continues to swirl out in the Atlantic and is expected to gain strength over the next day or so. FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says while it may become stronger and better organized, Tropical Storm Don will not make landfall. Weber is also keeping an eye on another area of interest working its way off the coast of Africa that has a 20 percent chance of developing over the next week.

Tropical Storm Don forms, expected to strengthen

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Don, which formed Monday night. He says the storm is barely holding on to tropical storm status and may be downgraded to a depression as it is working its way to the south. However, it says it is then expected to gain strength and get upgraded to a tropical storm before it moves over cooler waters and weakens. Weber says the good news is that it will remain over open waters.

Subtropical Depression Don expected to strengthen
video

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is continuing to watch Subtropical Depression Don as it encounters dry Saharan air to its south. He says it is not a well-defined system and it is weakening as it deals with wind shear and cooler waters. However, Weber says it is expected to hit warmer waters with less wind shear, which means it may strengthen before weakening again. He says regardless of what it does, Subtropical Depression Don will stay over open waters.

Invest 94 forms near Bermuda

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says plumes of Saharan air are keeping the tropics fairly quiet. However, there is an area east of Bermuda that he is keeping an eye on. He says Invest 94 has a 50 percent chance of developing into a tropical or subtropical system over the next week. The good news is that even if it does develop, the system will stay out over open water and won?t impact the United States.

Saharan dust makes its way across Atlantic

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says things are fairly quiet in the tropics thanks to a wave of Saharan dust traveling off the coast of Africa. He is watching an area of low pressure off the coast of Bermuda that has a 30 percent chance of becoming a subtropical or tropical system within the next seven days. However, Weber says even if it does develop, it will stay over open water and won?t impact the United States.

Tropics remain quiet due to Saharan dust.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku says all is quiet in the tropics due to Saharan dust that continues to suppress waves from turning into a tropical system. Tony is watching an area of a low-pressure system that could develop into a storm. According to a seasonal forecast update from Colorado State University, an above-average tropical season could be on the horizon. The university expects there to be 18 storms this year. Tony says that tropics activity will increase as we enter August in September.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku says that all is quiet in the tropics right now. He says that nothing is on the horizon for the next seven days. However, people still need to be prepared as it is still early in the hurricane season. Tony says that most tropical activity comes in August and September.

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.
