DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1530Z June 22, 2006

A detached dissipating plume of smoke most like originally from Northern
AZ extends from the Four Corners area slightly northeast to over Pueblo
Colorado.

In Canada a large pool of smoke can be seen in the area south of Lake
Athabasca in northern Saskatchewan. Bands of smoke are moving away from
this pool, northwest to Western Great Slave Lake and southeast across
the Lac La Ronge region to just west of Lake Winnipeg in Central Manitoba.

Unless otherwise indicated:

Areas of smoke are analyzed using GOES-EAST and GOES-WEST Visible satellite imagery.

Only a general description of areas of smoke or significant smoke plumes will be analyzed.

A quantitative assessment of the density/amount of particulate or the vertical distribution is not included.

Widespread cloudiness may prevent the detection of smoke even from significant fires.
