Tropical wave rolling off African coast
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says there are a number of tropical waves working their way across the Atlantic and added that a disturbance has formed off the coast of Africa. Weber says that the system has a 20 percent chance of developing in a week or so but says it won?t likely have much fanfare and may just produce some showers. However, he adds that it does have the potential to strengthen as it heads into the Caribbean or Atlantic toward the end of next week.

Hostile conditions keep tropics quiet
FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says all is quiet in the tropics thanks to wind shear, which is creating a hostile environment for storms. Weber cautions people against paying too close attention to internet postings about tropical development this early in the season. He says when you see one computer model suggesting that something may spin up, it doesn?t give you the confidence that it will become a reality. Weber says no development is expected over the next five to seven days.
