This chit is real nice too, looks like LA Smog in the air.
African dust cloud blowing through Texas
If you think the sky in Central Texas has looked a bit dirty recently, you are exactly right. In fact, it is literally ‘dirt,’ or more specifically, dust, blown here all the way from Africa.
The dust cloud was more prevalent Monday, as it began blowing into North Texas today, and should be be lifting completely out of Central Texas Wednesday. However, the next cloud of dust will reach South Texas Thursday and likely spread across our area again by Friday.
Hundreds of millions of tons of dust are picked up from the deserts of Africa and blown across the Atlantic Ocean each year
