Saharan dust still keeping tropics quiet

FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes is keeping an eye on the tropics, which have been quiet. He says Saharan dust making its way across the Atlantic is preventing tropical development. Rhodes does not expect anything tropical to form over the next week. However, he says by the beginning of August, some of the dust will start to subside and it should be gone by the middle of the month. Rhodes cautions that hurricane season usually heats up in August and September. The next name on the list if Debby.
