Saharan dust is good news for tropical development

FOX 13 Meteorologist Valerie Mills is watching plumes of Saharan dust coming off the west coast of Africa that is keeping the tropics quiet. She does not expect anything to form over the next seven days. She says the drier air in the Atlantic and Caribbean will dominate over the next week, while a couple of areas in the Eastern Pacific have a high chance of development as they move to the west-northwest.
