FOX 13 Meteorologist Dave Osterberg says the tropics are heating up, but he is only concerned about one area that will impact Bay Area weather next week. He says there is an area of low pressure in the western Caribbean that will meander over the Yucatan and move into the Gulf of Mexico, where the water is very warm making it the ideal climate for strengthening. Osterberg says the good news is there is a wind shear over the Gulf that will slow its development. However, he adds that most of the computer models show that it will become a tropical storm and stay a tropical storm that will bring a lot of rain to the west coast of Florida on Tuesday and Wednesday. If it does earn a name, the storm will be called Idalia.
