CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Saturday!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- Saharan dust arrives Saturday, reduced air quality
- Rain returns later on Sunday, lingers into midweek
Saharan dust may dry things up for a day, but the rain will be back as early as Sunday. For now, the dust is keeping skies hazy and that's a problem for some who are sensitive to reduced air quality.
Rain returns by late Sunday as an upper-level disturbance sweeps across the region (not enough dust to squash those rain chances completely). Rain looks to also keep our temperatures cooler into Monday! But as the upper-level help moves on, Saharan dust once again keeps things dry and hazy. The Independence Day holiday looks to be dry and hot, but I'm watching an area of interest in the Bay of Campeche for development. As of now, there is a low chance for development over the week.
