NWS: Dust from Sahara Desert may impact our air quality, sunsets

Posted Jun 24, 2020 12:29 PM

Be on the lookout for Saharan dust in the air!

Saharan dust has been moving west across the southern Atlantic Ocean and has recently reached the Caribbean Sea.

As the dust continues to move west, it will eventually get pulled north into parts of the United States, potentially impacting portions of the central and southern Plains.

Hazy skies, colorful sunrises and sunsets, and reduced air quality will be possible impacts.
