A massive plume of Saharan dust is expected to cross the Atlantic over the next week. That will lead to beautiful sunsets across the south and gulf coast.

It will also mean no chance of a tropical storm forming due to the dry air.

Oh, how I wish I had a decent western view from my house. Don't know if it's my imagination, but the sunsets in general have seemed really spectacular over the last few weeks (I'm just outside of Chicago). Maybe less pollution?

More pollution makes for prettier sunsets. We have had a lot of windy days the last couple of weeks, but no big Canadian forest fires - yet - to redden glowing sunsets.

One of the rare things that irritates me about Canada. We seem to be right in the plume path.
