FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes is keeping an eye on Saharan dust, which is expected to clip Florida this weekend, potentially dropping air quality and rain chances in Tampa. He says the Saharan dust has been keeping the tropics quiet, but he expects things to ramp up, especially in the Atlantic, during the month of August. Rhodes did note that there are a few weak tropical waves trying to travel off the coast of Africa, which has about a 20% chance of developing toward the end of next week.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes is keeping an eye on the tropics, which have been quiet. He says Saharan dust making its way across the Atlantic is preventing tropical development. Rhodes does not expect anything tropical to form over the next week. However, he says by the beginning of August, some of the dust will start to subside and it should be gone by the middle of the month. Rhodes cautions that hurricane season usually heats up in August and September. The next name on the list if Debby.
