The Saharan Dust has arrived high in the atmosphere over the Great Lakes region. Sunlight through dust can make for some magical skies in Michigan. Here are the 10 best sun scenes in the past few days.
One way to know you are likely looking at a dusted sunrise or sunset are the sun pillars showing. A sun pillar is a streak of sunlight that shoots straight up out of the sun.
The dusty sunrises and sunsets may not end real abruptly. The upper atmosphere won’t be moving much over the next week. Dust in the upper atmosphere now will likely linger in the upper atmosphere.
There are also three more batches of Saharan Dust expected to cross the Atlantic and hover in the U.S. skies over the next week.
There should be plenty of great sunsets and sunrises coming in the next week, in case you missed it last night.
