Tropical activity may ramp up

FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber says we tend to see more tropical activity toward the end of August and the beginning of September. However, he says the tropics are quiet right now. He says the dry Saharan dust working its way across the Atlantic Ocean will likely continue over the next week. Weber cautions that as wind shear lessens and the dry Saharan dust starts to settle down, it may mean more favorable conditions for tropical activity.
