Tropical wave may develop over next week

FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes is keeping an eye on a tropical wave that has a 60% chance of developing over the next week. Rhodes says some models keep the storm gaining strength and staying off the east coast of the United States, if it does develop. Rhodes says Saharan dust still blankets the area, making it difficult for the system to get the tropical moisture around it that it would need to organize and find its footing in the middle of the Atlantic. If the storm does earn a name, it will be called Ernesto. He is also watch what’s left of Debby, which is now a post-tropical cyclone, as it races over the northeast at 37 miles an hour dumping heavy rain on the area.
