THROUGH 1600Z August 28, 2005
Idaho/Montana/Wyoming: An area of moderately thick smoke was seen stretching from south central Montana into northeast and east central Wyoming..mainly along and east of the Bighorn Mountains. The smoke area was about 175 km wide and was moving east-southeast. Another moderately thick smoke area was seen over northwest Wyoming over Yellowstone Park and was moving east. A fire near Riggins in west central Idaho is producing a moderately dense, narrow smoke plume that is confined to the valley in the nearby vicintity of the fire. Canada: An area of smoke from the Alaskan fires is over northwest Hudson Bay and extends from northern Manitoba north across Nunavut toward the Arctic Coast. This smoke is mainly thin with the thickest area near the eastern Nunavut/Manitoba border along the Bay. Ruminski
