FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on the tropics as work our way through August. He says Saharan air coming off the coast of Africa and working its way across the Atlantic is keeping things quiet for now. He says the dry air and wind shear is not a hospitable environment for tropical waves to develop.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says we tend to see more tropical activity toward the end of August and the beginning of September. However, he says the tropics are quiet right now. He says the dry Saharan dust working its way across the Atlantic Ocean will likely continue over the next week. Weber cautions that as wind shear lessens and the dry Saharan dust starts to settle down, it may mean more favorable conditions for tropical activity.
