The north to south hazey area looks to be the sun angle..

Notice the funky eddies..

The dust is clearly not as evident, however SAL is not about the dust as much as the dry air which is still evident but not as expansive and intrusive to the south.

It is moistening up out there for Prime Time as expected.

Hopefully the TUTTs and Shear can continue to keep things in check for the most part. Dreamy I know...

Luckily the sheer was in the right place at the right time.
