FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching two areas of interest in the tropics. He has his eye on Invest 90L, which brought flooding rain to Sarasota and South Florida. It?s now working its way through the Atlantic. Weber says it is still a disorganized system and even if it does develop, it isn?t likely to do a whole lot as it is expected to remain over open water.
