Saharan dust filters in
Saharan dust has already started to filter into parts of Central Florida.
This is going to usher in multiple changes to the forecast this week. Not only will the dust help bring down our rain chances by midweek, but it will also aid in bringing us vibrant sunrises/sunsets.
The con is the reduced air quality and issues if you deal with respiratory illness or dust allergies.
This dust looks to stick around through the end of the week, with some lingering into the weekend.
Temperatures heating up
As a result of lower chances of rain and storms, temperatures will have more opportunity to heat up.
Afternoon highs will approach the mid and upper 90s for many by Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week.
Once we factor in the humidity, the "feels like" temperatures could reach a range as high as 103-107°.
