DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1530Z April 24, 2007

Florida:
In the southwestern Florida County of Collier, a large fire just southeast
of Naples, has generated a thin narrow plume of smoke that extended 75
nmi into the Gulf of Mexico.

Western Ohio Valley:
An area of residual smoke covered much of Missouri and stretched into
southern Illinois, Indiana and Ohio as well as northern Kentucky.

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.
