Tropical wave in Atlantic could become depression
FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes gave an update on two tropical waves - one in the Atlantic and one in the Caribbean. One spinning towards the Gulf of Mexico could become a tropical depression but won't pose much of an issue for the U.S. The second wave, still quite far away from the U.S. and Florida, is expected to form over the weekend and could become the second named storm of the season.

The National Hurricane Center continues to monitor two tropical waves, and one of them now has an increased chance of development by the end of the week.
2 tropical waves show small signs of development
FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes is tracking two tropical waves. One is in the Central Caribbean that has a slight chance of developing over the next week as it travels west toward Mexico. The second tropical wave is more than 3,000 miles from Florida and is making its way across the Atlantic. He said it has a 30% chance of developing over the next seven days. However, a layer of Saharan dust making its way off the coast of Africa is keeping things dry and making it difficult for tropical systems to develop.

The National Hurricane Center is monitoring two tropical waves with chances for development, one in the Caribbean and the other in the Eastern Atlantic.
Saharan dust may reach Florida this weekend
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is tracking the first round of Saharan dust making its way off the coast of Africa. She says as the dust moves west toward Florida, it will squash any tropical waves that try to develop. That’s because the Saharan dust is 50 percent drier than a typical moist air mass that meteorologists would typically see this time of year. She says some of the Saharan air will make its way to the coast of Florida this weekend, which may reduce the air quality. Mills noted that there is one wave on the edge of the Saharan air that has a low chance of development at the moment. However, it may develop more tropical characteristics as it moves west toward Mexico.

Saharan dust keeps tropics quiet
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is keeping an eye on the tropics, which are quiet at the moment. She says there is quiet a bit of Saharan dust moving off the coast of Africa and into the Atlantic and that will limit any waves that may try to develop because they would have to contend with the drier air. Mills says she does not expect anything to develop in the tropics over the next week.

System could develop in Gulf of Mexico
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills says a system spinning off the east coast of Florida will bring some rain and tropical moisture to the state but probably will not form into anything tropical over the next week. Mills says a little system in the Gulf of Mexico has a decent chance of development.
