Have you noticed the dusty haze in the air today? A dust storm in the southern plains is to blame! Dust has been carried eastward with the jet stream winds (winds well above the earths surface) and into the Mid-South. Notice the hazy look to the sky from our West Memphis tower cam, taken around 2 pm this afternoon. You can also see the dust on satellite imagery as well – in the brown color. This was around 1 pm this afternoon.
