Former Meteorologist Ed Roy—Tropical Storm Fiona "Bears Watching"

As South Louisiana hits the peak of hurricane season, there is a concerning disturbance across the central tropical Atlantic.

Ed Roy, former meteorologist for KATC TV in Lafayette and still very respected in the city as a storm tracker, says 96L (Now Tropical Storm Fiona) could be trouble and bears watching.

On the subject of weather....It might be a good idea to start watching what is going on in the tropics. An area in the Atlantic identified as 96L is showing signs of organization and depending on how strong the high-pressure ridge to the north of it is… I think it bears watching.

Tropical Storm Fiona is approaching the Caribbean Islands and Puerto Rico and is located approximately 800 miles east of the northeastern Caribbean Islands and showing signs of organization.

Former KATC Meteorologist Ed Roy thinks we should keep an eye on 96L (Now Tropical Storm Fiona)
