Saharan Dust movies in
The wind across the Atlantic is ushering a thick plume of dust up toward the Peninsula and the concentration in the air looks even higher for the weekend.
Not only does this aid in tempering down our rain chances, it also aids in bringing us vibrant sunrises/sunsets.
The con is the reduced air quality and issues if you deal with respiratory illness.
This dust looks to be with us as we progress through the middle part of next week.

Rain chances stay low
The drier air in play helps to keep our rain chances lower Friday into Saturday.
This ridge of high pressure is dominating and that heat dome as well as the dust will keep chances slim, with 20% pops on the docket Friday, climbing to near 30% on Saturday. As we begin to tap into more moisture Sunday, rain chances do climb a touch on Sunday.
Moisture returns next week
A frontal boundary stalls across the Southeast mid to late next week and as this happens we see tropical moisture pooling ahead of the front.
We'll have the potential for downpours and more frequent showers and storms as we progress through Tuesday.
Chances stay elevated Wednesday into Thursday as an upper-level disturbance moves our way.
