Tropical Update: August 20, 2022
The tropics are starting to wake up, but right now there is no threat to Florida. FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is keeping an eye on potential tropical cyclone four because it is the one that has the best chance of inheriting a name. Though it is getting better organized, it does not have a closed center of circulation, but that could change. Hurricane hunters are expected to fly into the storm on Saturday morning and if the winds get stronger and the center gets better defined, the system could become Danielle. If Danielle does develop, it will hit parts of northern Mexico and Southern Texas and leave Florida alone. Sadiku is also watching a wave that could move into the Eastern Atlantic and has a 20% shot of developing over the next five days.

Today's tropical weather forecast
Meteorologist Jim Weber says forecasters are watching a tropical wave in the southern Caribbean. The big question is: How well will it hold together as it travels over land? The environment is favorable for development. Meanwhile, it?s quiet in the Atlantic.

Today's tropical weather update
FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku says the lingering Saharan dust layer is a big part of why little tropical development is possible in the Atlantic any time soon. A small area of rotation was trying to form in the Gulf of Mexico and is causing heavy rain along the Texas coast.

Today's tropical weather forecast
FOX 13?s meteorologist Dave Osterberg says there is a tropical wave coming off the coast of Africa. It has the potential to develop. Even if it does become a named storm, it has to fight the Saharan dust layer. Otherwise, it is quiet in the tropics.

Tropical Update: August 7, 2022
After a quiet June and July in the tropics, things may be heating up over the next week. FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says there is a disturbance coming off the coast of Africa, which the National Hurricane Center says has a 40% chance of development over the next five days. However, Osterberg says most of the computer models show the disturbance falling apart shortly after development.

Tropical Update; August 6, 2022
After a quiet couple of months, FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says we may start to see some tropical activity off the coast of Africa in the coming days. Weber says as some of the Saharan dust starts to subside the conditions become more favorable for development. He says something may start to make its way toward the west by the middle of next week and may start to show signs of development. Weber adds that it is important to note that there is plenty of time to keep an eye on it.
