ORLANDO, Fla. — Channel 9 meteorologists are tracking a tropical disturbance off the coast of Africa that could develop into a tropical storm this week.
Meteorologist George Waldenberger said it’s still hurricane season, and we’re monitoring a new low-pressure area over the Tropical Atlantic to see where it tracks next week.
Severe Weather Center 9 will see if it can stay to sea or move a little closer to Florida.
There are no threats now, but we’re watching it.
