Tuesday's sunrise could look a bit different than usual. Here's why

Triple-digit heat is expected to stick a few more days. FOX 4's Dan Henry times out when we can expect a break from the hundreds.

DALLAS - If the sky looks a little hazy on Monday in DFW, you can blame dust from across the Atlantic.

The dust from the Saharan Desert has made its way to North Texas.

NOAA estimates that more than 180 million tons of dust leave the African continent every year.

It is most common for us to see Saharan dust during the first few months of hurricane season into mid-August.

The dust is expected to stay in our air through Tuesday before a cold front forces it to move out.

It can also help contribute to asthma or respiratory issues.

Keep an eye on the sky come sunrise Tuesday morning.

Pollution in the air, like Saharan dust, can affect the look of the light from the sun.

The dust particles can catch the light, causing longer-lasting, vibrant sunsets.

Some FOX 4 viewers shared photos of the sunset on Monday night.
