FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on four tropical systems, including one that will likely bring rain to the Sunshine State. Weber says a tropical wave that is working its way west will increase our rain chances on Sunday. After it enters the Gulf of Mexico it has the potential to strengthen into a tropical storm as it heads toward Texas. As Weber watches Invest 98 and Invest 99, he says wind shear will play a major role in determining whether or not they will develop further. Another tropical disturbance is also working its way west. If one of the four gains a name, it will be called Emily.
