While the Atlantic takes some time off, the East Pacific is on:

Floaters:

Gil (between 120W and 115W) is still a long way off, but it could perhaps travel in a similar path as Flossie. Then Invest 90E is to the right of Gil. I'll be interested to see how those may possibly interact.

As for the Atlantic, here is another view of SAL:

Now those are some colors.

I'm not sure how the NOAA Environmental Visualization Lab is describing it:

There are constrained areas of very concentrated dust, but they are within a very significant, widespread, area of dry air/dust.
