TROPICS COMING TO LIFE
The National Hurricane Center is now watching not one, but two 2 possible areas of tropical development in the Atlantic basin. The first area is in the Northeastern Gulf, with a 20% chance for tropical development over the next week. A brief tropical depression or tropical storm could form near north Florida on the Gulf side or Atlantic side impacting places like Tampa and Jacksonville with heavy rain. A second area of possible tropical development is being monitored in the far east Atlantic, near Cabo Verde. Chance for development here is very low, around 10%. Saharan dust will likely end chances for development over the coming week. Download FOX Local for your daily tropical updates.
