Tropics may heat up in August
FOX 13 Meteorologist Nash Rhodes is keeping an eye on Saharan dust , which is expected to clip Florida this weekend potentially dropping air quality and rain chances in Tampa. He says the Saharan dust has been keeping the tropics quiet, but he expects things to ramp up, especially in the Atlantic, during the month of August. Rhodes did note that there are a few weak tropical waves trying to travel off the coast of Africa, but he said they don’t look like they have good odds of forming now.
