A large cloud of dust is currently blowing across the Atlantic from the Sahara, which should make for some colorful sunsets over Florida during the coming week. Doesn't look like it will go any further north than Florida, but could possibly reach as far west as Texas. The leading edge of the cloud can be seen over the Atlantic on satellite, and it should reach FL in the Mon-Tue timeframe. It doesn't look dense enough to do anything more than make for some hazy skies ... and the sunrise/sunset should be a bit more spectacular. Here's the CNN story:
