Satellite imagery shows a #Saharan dust plume moving from Mauritania into the Atlantic. Strong northeasterly trade winds lift and transport dry boundary-layer #dust offshore. Filamented margins indicate wind shear, mixing with marine stratocumulus, and reduced visibility. #AirQuality 📅 2026 Jan 07

1️⃣ Dust Source Region
A significant concentration of #dust and sand can be observed over southern Algeria, near the borders with Mauritania and Mali. This is a classic #Saharan dust hotspot, where dry surface conditions and thermal activity promote strong uplift of particulate matter.
As northern states were dealing w/ #smoke, a large plume of #Saharan #dust is expected to spread over #GulfCoast states through Thurs. Chenard said the dust had reached parts of #Florida by Wed morning, & was expected to intensify.
“The highest concentrations of the dust is definitely going to […]
