On today's edition of the "Weather Insider" Podcast, AccuWeather's Bernie Rayno (@AccuRayno on Twitter) has all the details on the Saharan dust cloud trekking from Africa to the Gulf Coast. Like it has in the Caribbean, the dust is expected to bring reduced visibility and poor air quality from eastern Texas to Louisiana. The system is forecast to lift out to the northeast between Thursday and Friday, opening the door for more concentrated dust to fill the skies over East Texas Friday or Friday night into Saturday. Residents in the southern areas of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and parts of Florida are likely to see hazy skies and deal with a drop in air quality this weekend into early next week.
