Saharan Dust Could Impact Mississippians

  • An extensive cloud of dust originating from the Sahara Desert reached Florida on Wednesday evening and is expected to continue moving across the southeastern United States on Thursday.
  • This dust plume formed from sand and minerals stirred by tropical waves in the Sahara and blown over 5,000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean.
  • The dust cloud spans roughly 2,000 miles in width and 750 miles in length, leading to hazy conditions, reduced visibility, dry weather, and occurrences of "dirty rain" in the areas it impacts.
  • The CDC warns that particles can enter lungs and bloodstream causing harm, especially for children, elderly, and those with lung or heart conditions.
  • The dust event may worsen air quality in the Southeast, urging vulnerable populations to limit outdoor exposure and use air purifiers while monitoring conditions.
