Another Round of Saharan Dust Passes Through Texas

More African dust is on the way to Texas and will likely be more concentrated Sunday through the first half of next week.

This will make skies hazy again in Texas for the second time in two weeks. This is especially true during the morning and the evening.

More African dust passed through Dallas Monday afternoon and will likely continue through next few days.

Although there are no health hazards associated with the dust, the dust may be irritating for those with allergies or lung issues. Those with breathing issues are advised to stay indoors or limit outdoor exposure on days with higher dust concentrations -- especially late this weekend through early next week.

Also, if you plan to be outdoors this weekend, be sure to stay hydrated. It will turn hotter and drier Saturday through Wednesday with triple-digit heat returning.
