Fox 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku provides an update on a tropical wave we are keeping an eye on in the Atlantic. Tony says it is nothing to worry about right now. However, the National Weather Service indicates it could develop into a depression or named system. If that were to happen, it would likely not be for a couple of days, and it is too early to specify any details.

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says all is quiet in the tropics thanks to wind shear, which is creating a hostile environment for storms.

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.
