'Dirty rain' possible as massive Saharan dust plume reaches Southeast this week
Fast facts: Saharan dust is arriving in the Gulf on Thursday. Dust is forecast to impact skies and reduce visibility across the Southeast. If dust interacts with rain, "dirty rain" could fall across Florida. Colorful sunsets and sunrises are possible later this week as dust particles scatter visible light. Lingering effects will last into the weekend before the dust disperses. MIAMI – A large wave of Saharan dust making its way across the Atlantic Basin is forecast to arrive in the U.S. later this week, impacting the Southeast with hazy skies and "dirty rain." NOAA estimates that more than 180 million tons of dust leave the African continent every year, and the extremely dry air reduces thunderstorm activity and tropical cyclone formation. Saharan dust has taken over nearly the entire Atlantic Basin, according to NOAA satellites. One of the larger waves of more concentrated dust is approaching the Caribbean on Monday. By Thursday, this thick plume is forecast to enter the Gulf of America, over the Florida Keys and much of the Sunshine State. Another round of dust will move in along the northern Gulf Coast by Friday and head into the Southeast. According to the FOX Forecast Center, the primary impacts will be a hazy sky and reduced visibility. Dust has also been known to reduce air quality, but that is not expected this week. 5 Things To Know About The Saharan Dust Plume However, there is also a positive aspect to dust plumes. As the larger dust particles scatter visible light, longer wavelengths like red, orange and pink will make for colorful sunrises and sunsets. Vibrant sunsets and sunrises are likely across the Southeast until the dust is swept north and disperses. With rain forecast across the Gulf Coast this weekend, the FOX Forecast Center is also tracking how the dust interacts with the moisture. If the timing lines up, "dirty rain" could include dust particles leaving a layer of dust on surfaces once the rain article source: 'Dirty rain' possible as massive Saharan dust plume reaches Southeast this week

Map Shows When Impact of First Tropical Storms Could Hit US
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Two tropical storms could form near the United States within the next few weeks should conditions remain favorable, only days after the Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1. The Eastern Pacific season, which began on May 15, also has seen an early start, AccuWeather lead hurricane expert Alex DaSilva told Newsweek, with Tropical Storm Alvin forming in late May. Why It Matters Earlier this year, AccuWeather meteorologists issued a 2025 Atlantic hurricane season forecast in which experts predicted 13 to 18 named storms forming throughout the season, with seven to 10 strengthening into hurricanes. Of those, as many as six are forecast to make a direct hit to the U.S. This year's hurricane season could see an early start, with AccuWeather meteorologists currently monitoring two disturbances in the Atlantic. What to Know The most recent AccuWeather forecast revealed that meteorologists are monitoring an area along the Southeast U.S. that has a low chance of development between June 4 and 6. Although it's still unclear if a tropical system will form, meteorologists warned of heavy, flooding rain, minor coastal flooding, rip currents and rough surf beginning later this week, potentially affecting Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Meteorologists also are monitoring another area in the Western Caribbean that is expected to move into the Gulf as moisture develops simultaneously. If a tropical storm develops, it could bring impacts to the U.S. between June 9 and 13. It is still too soon to tell what path either storm will take. However, AccuWeather meteorologists are saying there's a low risk of tropical rain and wind impacts for Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. A near-zero risk is in place for the Texas and Louisiana coastlines, as well as the East Coast from Northern North Carolina through Maine. Should a tropical storm develop, it will be named Andrea. Meanwhile, the U.S. Southwest could see more moisture this summer from the Eastern Pacific hurricane season, DaSilva told Newsweek. Arizona recently saw some heavy rain from Alvin, and DaSilva said he expects other tropical storms to take a similar path as the season progresses. A map from AccuWeather shows when impacts from two potential tropical storms could hit the US. A map from AccuWeather shows when impacts from two potential tropical storms could hit the US. AccuWeather What People Are Saying AccuWeather tropical meteorologist Alex Duffus sad in a report: "This [area] will be moving slowly through the zone from the western Caribbean and eastern Gulf around the same time when a surge of moisture may develop. For these reasons and a drop in disruptive winds in the region, we are issuing a chance for tropical development." National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on its webpage: "For the North Sea and the Gulf of America: Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 7 days." What Happens Next People living in hurricane-risk areas are urged to make a plan on how to act should a storm form that threatens their wellbeing or property. More updates are likely to be issued if development of the storms persists.

Tropical cyclones led to rise in infant deaths in these countries, new research shows
LOS ANGELES – Families across dozens of countries are preparing this week as another hurricane season begins. However, a new study reveals even weaker tropical storms can have deadly impacts on infants and unborn children. Health economist Zachary Wagner, a University of Southern California professor, has previously studied war-torn countries and how children are affected by conflict. This latest research, published in Science Advances a few weeks before the start of the 2025 hurricane season, is part of a look at how climate and weather disasters can upend a child's life before it even begins. "There are a lot of other types of events that kind of have similar effects on our society, and natural disasters, large hurricanes are one of them," Wagner told FOX Weather. "We've also been studying things like floods and heat waves and things like that. But hurricanes really can have this devastating effect. And so we thought that kids living in an environment where a hurricane happens, like how does the health of these kids change? How long do these effects last? Is it similar to the effect of conflict?" 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season Outlook: Here's How Active This Year Could Be Without El Nino, La Nina Patterns Wagner and other researchers examined the effects of tropical storm exposure from 2002 to 2021 for seven of the most heavily exposed low- and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, including Madagascar, India, Bangladesh, Cambodia, the Philippines, the Dominican Republic and Haiti. A tropical cyclone modeling expert helped create the wind speed for a 10-kilometer by 10-kilometer cell for these countries. Then the team looked at the child health records from the Demographic and Health Surveys Program, which was completed every 5 years across 90 countries. The results showed that, on average, exposure to a tropical cyclone in utero or during the first year of life was associated with an additional 4.4 infant deaths per 1,000 live births – an 11% increase. The sharp increase was driven by increased deaths in Bangladesh, the Dominican Republic and Haiti, which all saw more than 10 deaths per 1,000 live births. Risks to these children were the greatest in the first year after a cyclone, according to the study. However, the deaths around the time of the cyclone were not explained by common health risks following natural disasters. "We thought that it would be things like healthcare utilization, but it could be things like spread of disease after a tropical cyclone happens," Wagner said. "There's often flooding, there's spread of diarrhea illness, respiratory illness, things that are leading causes of death rates around the world."Wagner said the research team is devising a new method to determine why even tropical storms are leading to higher infant mortality. Economic health researchers will need to utilize different data in the coming years. The Demographic and Health Surveys Program was halted under the current White House administration due to cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) funding. They also hope to understand the differences in infant deaths based on location. "There's big differences across countries," Wagner said. "Where some countries have these kind of large effects, some countries are not seeing much of an effect at all. So, trying to understand what's driving that and that might give us insights into why kids are dying in one place and not another." Hurricane Season 2025: Here Are The Names For Storms You'll See This Season Wagner explained that understanding the deadly impact a tropical cyclone can have on a young child is an important step to protecting them in the future. "There's a limited amount of resources we have to invest in protecting children," Wagner said. "It's important to know which risk factors are the most important so we can allocate resources in the most effective way. No one's very surprised, I don't think, that kids are harmed by tropical cyclones. It's kind of like a 'water is wet' situation. But at the same time, understanding the magnitude of this effect, where it's a problem, where it's not, that's important for investing resources and ranking, kind of ordering where resources should go to protect the most kids."
