FOX13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku is continuing to monitor the same two areas he?s been watching for several days. He says the odds of Invest 96 developing have gone down and it?s having a tough time getting organized. According to Sadiku Invest 96 now has a 50 percent chance of developing over the next week while the other area of interest has a zero percent chance of developing. He adds that Saharan dust is still keeping things fairly quiet in the tropics, but warns that things may pick up in August.
