It was a different kind of weather event on the final day of May in New England on Tuesday, a storm of the pollen variety. https://twitter.com/skeeter923/status/1531643975597170689 Clouds of yellow-greenish dust swept across the skyline Tuesday, indicative of a dust storm in the Plains. But this one was of a different color, and of a different variety. Some are referring to it as a "pollen haboob", stemming off the term haboob which is the name for a dust storm. https://twitter.com/sbowe72/status/1531642559763726339 Social media users across Massachusetts posted their videos of low visibility, clouds of pollen, and gusty winds rolling across the horizon. At the time, a strong cold front was moving through New England. https://twitter.com/PeteNBCBoston/status/1531660253628096515 https://twitter.com/weatherinri/status/1531709143270162435 https://twitter.com/growingwisdom/status/1531713821034926082 This strong cold front, referred to as a back door cold front because it seeps south from Canada, plummeted temperatures a solid 30 degrees after its passage. Afternoon temperatures were in the 90's ahead of the front, but 50's where the cold air reached. If you have any cool weather video or pictures, please share them with us!
