Saharan Dust:

Dust coming off the continent of Africa is making its way to the United States. It is impacting air quality and giving us a milky gray sky. The dust concentrations are highest today and tomorrow.

There is a 20% chance we could see a tropical system develop over the next five days in the southwest Caribbean Sea. The NHC has indicated a 10% chance of development in the next 48 hours and a 20% chance of development over the next 5 days. It will not be a threat to SE Texas.
