BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - It is that time of the year again. The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1st through November 30th. A quiet first week in the tropics is expected. However, there are subtle hints in long range models that the tropics may “wake” up later in the month. As we enter the first week of June, the first round of Saharan dust from the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) will make its way to the Gulf Coast by the middle of the week.
