The latest Saharan Dust Model shows the dust making its way into North Carolina this coming weekend. If current trends persist the dust appears substantial enough to dim our incoming sunlight. We will follow this all week.

I don't know about you but I am a fan of the cooler weather we have had lately. Signs are this trend will last through the end of the month and possibly through the first week of May. Are you liking this cooler weather? I like the 80s but prefer them in May and June not April.

stays over open water instead of going over the mountains of Hispaniola. Now there is really not much to stop Dorian from strengthening as it moves toward the US coast.That is why Dorian is now forecasted to make landfall as a major hurricane.
