Massive Saharan dust cloud moving toward US. Will it have any impact on WA?

A large plume of dust from the Saharan Desert is expected to drift across a good chunk of parts of the southeastern U.S. by the end of the week, forecasters say.

According to AccuWeather , the Saharan dust will continue to move across the Atlantic and cross the Caribbean and into the U.S. on Thursday, starting with parts of Florida and South Carolina . It will continue to drift across the southeast region of the country on Friday.

The plume is about 2,000 miles wide from east to west and 750 miles long from north to south, AccuWeather states. The plume — the apparently largest to reach the U.S. so far this year — is expected to continue on over the Gulf Coast in the following days.

But will the dust cloud reach Washington state, or impact the air quality in the Pacific Northwest
