Saharan dust and hotter weather on the way

HOUSTON - We may have a few storms on Thursday, but the overall trend will be toward a hot, hazy pattern with a smaller coverage of rain each day.

A plume of dust and warmer, drier air in the upper atmosphere is moving across the Caribbean and Gulf and should arrive here either Thursday or Friday. We'll notice a hazy tinge to the sky that will be most noticeable at sunrise and sunset.

Also, high temps should rise into the mid or possibly upper 90s.

Tropics quiet, but heavy rain hits southeast U.S. coast

An upper-level area of low pressure has been soaking Florida but the National Hurricane Center does not expect this to become a tropical system.
