The highest likelihood of storms to move through will be between about 1pm and 7pm.

Tropical Weather update - August 9, 2025

The Atlantic Basin remains active with two systems being closely monitored by the National Hurricane Center. Invest 96L is struggling in the middle of the Atlantic. Just off the African coast, a tropical wave known as Invest 97L looks to be a concern in the long term.

Latest on the tropics

There are a few areas we will monitor for development over the next few days. 

A tropical wave (Invest 96L) in the middle of the Atlantic is struggling to stay organized, due to dry air getting wrapped into the system. 

A second system (Invest 97L) just off the African coast has a better chance to become the season's first hurricane next week. It is extremely far form the US, but in about 10 days, could become a concern. 

We will continue to monitor the latest weather models and bring you updates daily on FOX Local.
