Tropical depression or storm likely to form soon, National Hurricane Center says
SUMMARY: The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports that a tropical depression or storm is likely to form soon from a tropical wave located several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands, with a 90% chance of development in the next seven days. The system is expected to move westward towards the Windward Islands. Additionally, the NHC is monitoring two other tropical waves with lower formation chances. One is in the western Caribbean Sea with a 30% chance of development, and the other is south-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands with a 20% chance of forming in the upcoming week.

SUMMARY: A significant plume of Saharan dust is crossing the Atlantic, impacting parts of the U.S. ahead of July 4. Initially affecting Florida, the dust is expected to reach Texas and other Gulf states by Monday. Saharan dust, originating from the Sahara Desert, travels westward via Trade Winds, creating less favorable conditions for tropical cyclones and lowering humidity. While it blocks sunlight and affects air quality, the dust also delivers essential minerals to ecosystems. To mitigate its negative health impacts, people should stay indoors, use masks, and employ HEPA filters. Such dust events often result in striking sunrises and sunsets.
