Best Answer

Sandstorms usually develop in dry air masses. Hurricanes depend on large amounts of moist air to maintain their strength. If these two were to meet the dry air would be entrained into the hurricane, causing it to weaken. Some sand and dust may mix with the rain, forming somewhat muddy rain.
