FOX 13 Meteorologist Jim Weber is keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Melissa, which formed Tuesday morning in the Caribbean. He said Tropical Storm Melissa will start to work its way to the north and the west as the wind shear increases in some of those areas, creating a less conducive environment for the storm. Even though the National Hurricane Center expects Tropical Storm Melissa to strengthen, it will be a slow process. Weber believes the storm will be around for a while and won’t become a hurricane until this weekend. He notes that it is expected to stay east of the United States.
