saharan dust that has blanketed most of the DFW Metroplex with a brown haze in the air is expected to stick around for a few more days.

CBS11 Meteorologist Jeff Ray has been tracking the dust and said, "Things will get a little bit better, but probably not until Thursday or Friday will we get back to where we actually have some blue skies."

In the meantime Ray's forecast for the haze means people with air quality sensitivities will have to endure the conditions for several more days.

Dr. James Haden of Haden Allergy pointed out the haze isn't an allergen but rather an irritant.


"You're not only being exposed to dust but you're being exposed to the ozone. Those are two different irritants acting together to cause more problems," said Dr. Haden.

He said the best thing for anyone with air quality sensitivities is to stay indoors and keep allergy medicine handy especially you typical from allergies.

The Saharan dust traveled more than 5,000 miles from the coast of Africa all the way to Texas.


Not just DFW, but here in Houston to....I've noticed it in the air, but didn't know what it was till I saw this...

Imagine if it were a radiation cloud from a nuclear event?
Its the same pattern that brings hurricanes to the Gulf.
Additionally, an airborne disease vector can also travel those distances.
What is worse, is that even tho we know it happens, there is nothing we can do about it.

That is terrible, however, some things man cannot control on this Earth.

That might explained thr the smell I've been smelling outside.

African dust travels over 5000 miles to Texas

And it now is demanding political asylum... and the perks that go with it.

There has been some seriously weird stuff going on in the world lately..I'm just trying to figure out which one of you to blame...

Hahaha.... Build that wall, right...

lol

but,we need that dust to do the jobs that our OWN dust doesn't want to do,right?

WTF.. lets blame Trump ;)

You better hope the dust isn't carrying monkey pox.

not me, I'm not a liberal...

could be something worse, no telling what bill gates was injecting into those people over there...

I used to live in the caribbean.
One year we were infested by huge locusts, and nobody that I told
back in Europe believed that they actually originally came
travelling from Africa.
I guess I will rest my case...

I believe it...that's why I don't like the term "invasive species"...humans are the only invasive species on earth...

You're absolutely right about that.

At least the islanders were gifted with
crunchy new snacks.

Hahaha. Believe me, they were no fun... Big MF's flying into your face for weeks, eating the vegetation.
To your info..They don't eat things like that...???
