DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0130Z November 26, 2006

Louisiana:
A fire along the border between Marrison county of Texas and Codda county
of Louisiana is producing a moderately dense plume of northerly smoke
that reached the central Willer county of Arkansas. A fire in western
Caldwell near county boundary is producing a moderately dense plume
of smoke that is moving northward to west of northern Quachita county
of Louisana. A fire in southwestern Beauregard county is producing a
moderately dense pluem of smoke that is moving northward to western
Vernon county. A fire near Port Arthur is producing a moderately dense
plume of northerly smoke that reached the north of Jefferson county of
Texas. A bunch of fires in Marsh Island are producing moderately dense
to locally dense plumes of smoke that are moving northward into central
Vermilion and Iberia counties of Louisiana.

fires in Greene and Choctaw counties of Alabama are producing thin
to moderately dense plumes of northweseterly smoke. The two smoke
plumes produced by fires in Alabama are moving into the counties in
Mississippi near Mississippi-Alabama border. Two fires in Barbour and

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.
