Tropical Storm Ophelia may form in Atlantic
FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says Potential Tropical Cyclone 16 will likely become Tropical Storm Ophelia. He says the system will slow down as it moves toward the Carolinas and begin transitioning into a tropical storm. According to Osterberg, the storm will bring rains and wind gusts of 50 miles an hour to the Carolinas. He is also keeping an eye on a system off the coast of Africa that he expects to eventually take a turn to the north and stay over open waters.

Potential Tropical Cyclone 16 takes aim at Carolinas
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on Potential Tropical Cyclone 16, which formed off the Southeastern United States Thursday morning. While Weber says it is not a tropical system yet, models show it acquiring tropical characteristic within the next day or two as it works it way north. He says it may even strengthen into Tropical Storm Ophelia before making landfall in the Carolinas. Weber is also watching Hurricane Nigel, which will weaken and eventually dissipate over open waters. He also has his eye on a system off the coast of Africa that is expected to take time to develop, but may become Philippe.

Potential subtropical system to bring lower humidity to Florida
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is watching an area of low pressure off Florida?s east coast that may develop subtropical characteristics. However, it will not bring rain and winds to Florida because it will move to the north and the northwest. It is expected to lower our humidity though as we head into the weekend. He is also keeping an eye on Hurricane Nigel as it swirls over open waters. A third area he is watching is a wave off the coast of Africa that will be slow moving and won?t show signs of development until next week.
