Florida
Dusty downpours likely across Central Florida. Here’s when
ORLANDO, Fla. – Another round of Saharan dust is approaching Florida for the weekend. At the same time, tropical thunderstorms are expected to erupt as the sea breezes ignite from the heating of the day.
Saharan dust is common early on in hurricane season usually peaking in June or July.
The Saharan Air Layer, where the dry, dusty air is, typically hangs out around 15,000 feet above the ground. Typical summertime thunderstorms in Florida routinely reach 30 or 40,000 feet. The raindrops that fall through the layer can bring down some of that dust to the surface.
Oftentimes, after the rain dries up, a dusty, brown residue is left over on anything that gets wet.
If you notice brown dots or splatters on your car or porch furniture after the rain dries up, you can blame the dust all the way from the Saharan Desert.

The arrival of the dust could also mean air quality issues for sensitive groups. It will be important to monitor the air quality through the weekend.
The Saharan dust plume taking over much of the Atlantic is partially responsible for the extended quiet stretch on the tropics.
Pending clear skies, the dust in the atmosphere can help enhance the color in the sky during sunrise and sunset.

RIVERVIEW, Fla. (CBS12) — A Florida man was arrested after investigators linked him to a fatal fentanyl overdose that occurred in December.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded Dec. 29, 2025, to a home on Balm Boyette Road in Riverview, where they discovered the body of a woman identified as 43-year-old Grace Remington. Investigators determined she died from a fentanyl overdose.

According to the sheriff’s office, the investigation revealed that Aaron Lee Morris had delivered the fentanyl to Remington before her death. Toxicology results showed a fatal amount of the drug in her system.
On Tuesday, HCSO’s Opioid Overdose Investigation Section arrested Morris, 46, and charged him with first-degree murder resulting from the unlawful distribution of a controlled substance.
“Fentanyl continues to destroy lives and devastate families in our community,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said. “If you choose to distribute this deadly poison, you will be held accountable for the lives lost as a result of your actions.”
From Boston to now Miami, the Tartan Army has been marching through the streets of South Florida preparing for the Scotland v. Brazil World Cup game at 6 p.m. Known for their crowd-drawing shenanigans, the term “Tartan Army” has been trending on people’s For You Page, but who are they exactly?
The term “Tartan Army” is a nickname for Scotland’s fan base who support the country’s national team. The concept of “Tartan” comes from the iconic fabric design on kilts and is recognized as a symbol of Scottish identity.
The army gained attention for their rowdy team spirit, but also because some bars in Boston ran out of beer as the city hosted Scotland’s first two games. Now they have arrived in Miami and have been making their presence known.
On Monday, around 8,000 army followers marched from a bar called Ball and Chain to the Marlins’ game, making their presence known throughout South Florida.
Then on Tuesday, the Scotland fans invaded Miami Beach as the beer company Miller Lite presented the fans with a tartan beer barge that read “Restock the Scots.”
With the game against Brazil set for later tonight, the Tartan Army will now flood Miami Stadium with beer, bagpipes and kilts.
