DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 2300Z December 26, 2005
Arkansas/Louisiana/East Texas: Numerous fires were detected over this region but relatively few were producing smoke discernable in satellite imagery. Of these, the larger plumes were seen over Calhoun county in southern Arkansas and along the Red River/Titus county border in east Texas. These plumes were thin in density and extended to the north. A large cluster of fires in southern Louisiana, mainly in Vermilion..St Mary and Iberia parishes south of route 90 has produced an area of thin smoke extending to the east northeast and reaching to the Mississippi. Separate plumes were seen over southern Tangipahoa and St Tammany and extending to the southeast across Lake Pontchartrain. Ruminski
