Dust and droplets 💨🌧️

News6 Pinpoint Weather Team 2024

Disturbed weather and dusty air ⛈️

Hey there Insiders, meteorologist Michelle Morgan here talking about a whole lot of weather things. First off, it looks like Central Florida is in for a stretch of rainy days ahead. Second, there’s Saharan dust in the atmosphere causing hazy skies, giving us vivid sunrises and sunsets but lowering air quality.

As we head into the weekend, typical summer storms will return, with on-and-off rain and afternoon highs climbing back into the mid to upper 90s.
