Houston Weather: Heat Dome Blocks Storms, Wildfire Smoke Arrives & Saharan Dust Returns [rJkbeB0VFBk]

A sprawling heat dome has taken control of the weather across Texas, bringing hotter temperatures, lower rain chances and a few unexpected side effects.

Meanwhile, another plume of Saharan dust is expected to arrive next week, helping keep skies hazy while suppressing tropical development across the Atlantic.
