Saharan dust may reach Florida this weekend
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is tracking the first round of Saharan dust making its way off the coast of Africa. She says as the dust moves west toward Florida, it will squash any tropical waves that try to develop. That?s because the Saharan dust is 50 percent drier than a typical moist air mass that meteorologists would typically see this time of year. She says some of the Saharan air will make its way to the coast of Florida this weekend, which may reduce the air quality. Mills noted that there is one wave on the edge of the Saharan air that has a low chance of development at the moment. However, it may develop more tropical characteristics as it moves west toward Mexico.

Saharan dust keeps tropics quiet
FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is keeping an eye on the tropics, which are quiet at the moment. She says there is quiet a bit of Saharan dust moving off the coast of Africa and into the Atlantic and that will limit any waves that may try to develop because they would have to contend with the drier air. Mills says she does not expect anything to develop in the tropics over the next week.
