Tropical Storm Don to strengthen, organize
video

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
video

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

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.

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
video

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
video

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?
video

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
video

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.
