An area of high pressure, or dry conditions, is allowing the dust to settle in throughout the weekend.
By Saturday, the dense plume will move across all of the southern U.S.
Through the weekend, a thinner amount of dust will advance across much of the eastern U.S.
The dust will ease up headed into the later part of the weekend and the beginning of the workweek for the southern states, but by the end of next week, it will make a return.
To a hurricane, the Saharan dust is nothing more than extremely dry air.
As long as the Saharan dust is around, there will be fewer storms to watch in the Atlantic.
