(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - Tri-State residents can blame hazy skies Wednesday on the Sahara Desert.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration officials say dust from the Sahara - located 6,200 miles away in northeastern Africa - has been riding the winds for several days to make a rare appearance over Greater Cincinnati.
The dust will turn the sky a hazy gray and could cause breathing problems for people with sensitive lungs.
You might have also noticed a unique sunset Tuesday evening. The National Weather Service at Wilmington, Ohio says smoke from large wildfires in the western U.S. has spread over the region at high altitudes.
[8:35 PM] As expected, our view of the sun tonight around sunset certainly has an orange/pink hue to it. Smoke from western wildfires is overspreading the region at high altitudes, helping create this rather unique and picturesque sunset in the area this evening! pic.twitter.com/1fhcSSKsmL
