According to forecasts by the National Meteorological Service, on Tuesday, June 30, another dusty plume will appear on the west coast of the Gulf of Mexico and in the lower Mississippi Valley. According to the latest forecast, it may linger off the west and north coast of the bay until Thursday, June 2.

"The main impacts of Saharan dust will be hazy skies during the day, locally reduced visibility, reduced air quality, but with potentially colorful sunrises and sunsets," the weather service said.

According to weather forecasts, lower concentrations of dust will spread across the states of the Plains, some clouds of dust will move to the east, southeast and the middle Atlantic.

A mass of extremely dry and dusty air, known as the Sahara air layer, forms over the Sahara desert and crosses the North Atlantic every 3-5 days from late spring to early fall, peaking between late June and mid-August, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration research.

The agency said that dust could occupy a layer about 2 miles thick (more than 3 kilometers) in the atmosphere.

Weather.com reports that dust from the Sahara is tracked in the west to the Caribbean, Florida and the Gulf of Mexico.

The advantage of sugar dust is that it prevents the development of tropical storms and hurricanes.

“Tropical storms require a lot of moist air and relatively calm upper-level winds,” said Aaron Treadway, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “Lack of moisture and stronger winds are not conducive to the development of tropical storms.”

According to meteorologists, this dust storm, along with other weather conditions, is likely to impede the formation of any significant tropical phenomenon in the near future.
