Tropical development unlikely despite Atlantic disturbance

We are one storm into hurricane season and FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osteberg says we usually only see about 6% of activity in June and he says it is unlikely we’ll see anything develop thanks to a Saharan dust cloud and drier air. However, Osterberg adds that there is one area of disturbance by the Azores. He says it only has a 10% chance of forming over the next week and if it did develop it would not impact the United States.

Disturbance forms in Atlantic

FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg is keeping an eye on the tropics as hurricane season begins. After forming on the second day of hurricane season, Tropical Storm Arlene has dissipated and now the National Hurricane Center is watching a small area of disturbance in the Atlantic. However, Osterberg says it’s likely to disintegrate and won’t pose a threat to Florida.

Tropical Storm Arlene dissipates

FOX 13 Meteorologist Tony Sadiku says despite a quick start to hurricane season with Tropical Storm Arlene forming on the second day, it dissipated over Cuba and there are no signs of any tropical development over the next seven days. However, Sadiku says it is important to be vigilant and he wants to remind everyone that the disaster sales tax holiday runs through June 9 to help Floridians be prepared.
