Massive Saharan dust clouds to approach Florida, Gulf
Two large Saharan dust clouds are headed west from Africa towards the United States.
It’s Saharan dust season in the Atlantic, when massive clouds of dust from Africa’s Sahara Desert are carried westward by wind, sometimes reaching all the way to the United States.
Where is the dust now?
Satellite photos showed thick dust extending off the coast of Africa on Wednesday morning, with a second swath of lighter dust over the Caribbean.
When will the dust hit the United States?
A NASA forecast model shows a cloud of dust landing in southern Florida on Saturday and a larger cloud covering the state around Wednesday, June 4. While the first dust cloud is expected to dissipate before it reaches the rest of the Gulf Coast, the entire Gulf Coast could be affected by atmospheric dust late next week.
