FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on Potential Tropical Cyclone 16, which formed off the Southeastern United States Thursday morning. While Weber says it is not a tropical system yet, models show it acquiring tropical characteristic within the next day or two as it works it way north. He says it may even strengthen into Tropical Storm Ophelia before making landfall in the Carolinas. Weber is also watching Hurricane Nigel, which will weaken and eventually dissipate over open waters. He also has his eye on a system off the coast of Africa that is expected to take time to develop, but may become Philippe.
