💨 Abstract

Last Friday and Saturday, parts of New England experienced "dirty rain" or "mud rain," not spring pollen as initially thought. This phenomenon occurred when dust from New Mexico was carried northeast by a storm system, reaching altitudes of around 10,000 feet before being brought down by rain clouds. Similar events, though uncommon, are comparable to the transportation of smoke from Western wildfires.
