Models indicate the Saharan dust reaching portions of Texas late next week. Learn more about about the Saharan Air Layer here: https://t.co/frwXakP5fF pic.twitter.com/DrIJbK5ECn

#SATELLITE SPOTLIGHT: A very good tweet from @NWSSanAntonio showing the projected path of this week's #DustPlume from the #Sahara (seen here from #NOAA20--️). @NOAA and its partners study the #SaharanAirLayer using a combination of satellites, including #GOES and #JPSS. https://t.co/RO8oigFd3V pic.twitter.com/AcxlAhBqOe
