A plume of Saharan dust is slated to move into the South Texas sky as early as Friday. This will likely linger through Monday with a more noticeable haze in the sky likely this weekend, along with the potential to see more vibrant sunrises and sunsets.

Saharan dust has made another trip across the Atlantic, and Texans are seeing the effects of it this week, weather officials say. The Saharan air layer is a body of dry, dusty air that forms over the Sahara desert in the late spring,

A moderate plume of Saharan dust will lower air quality and cause hazy skies in San Antonio. Nearly triple-digit heat will continue.
