Saharan Dust

Moderate to High Saharan Dust Concentrations through FridayAs a tropical wave, now over the Mona Passage, continues to move away from the region, concentrations of Saharan Dust will continue to filter in. High, to locally very high, concentrations of Saharan Dust will dominate today, and persist through tomorrow afternoon, becoming more moderate through tomorrow night. This will result in hazy skies, reduced visibility and deteriorated air quality. Individuals in sensitive groups (such as those with respiratory conditions, young children, and older adults) should take appropriate precautions and limit prolonged outdoor exposure during this period.
