A significant area of Saharan Dust has been seen in satellite imagery blowing off the west coast of Africa. Forecasting models show the dust moving 5,000 miles across the tropics and into the Gulf of Mexico by the middle of next week.
Its thanks to a significant area of Saharan Dust seen in satellite imagery blowing off the west coast of Africa. Forecasting models show the dust moving across the tropics -- the main areas of tropical development -- and into the Gulf of Mexico by this time next week.That means it will travel over 5,000 miles, says CNN meteorologist Haley Brink. "Large plumes of Saharan Dust routinely track into the Atlantic Ocean from late spring into early fall," she says.
"The dust is the visible part of the reduced tropical development potential area," explains CNN meteorologist Chad Myers."It is the dry air and additional vertical wind shear along with the dust that are the driving factors in limiting tropical storm development." Vertical wind shear is the change of wind speed and direction with height. For a hurricane to form, it needs little to no wind shear and a very moist atmosphere.
