The Saharan Air Layer (SAL) is making its way to the United States, with significant Saharan dust expected to affect various regions. This dust, which can hinder tropical development, is currently south of Invest 95L, which has a 70% chance of tropical development over the next seven days. The first batch of Saharan dust has already arrived, peaking in thickness late today through tomorrow morning, causing hazy skies and moderate air quality. The dust is expected to reach Southeast Texas and East Texas over the weekend, potentially causing breathing difficulties and allergies. Florida is also expected to experience the dust this weekend.
