THROUGH 0030Z June 3, 2007
NOTE: A firewall failure lead to a significant time when imagery was unavailable (1943Z – 2337Z) to produce the HMS fire product! This however does not affect this text product. Gulf of Mexico/Central Gulf states: Moderate to dense smoke from the GA fires was visible on the western periphery of ex-TS Barry over the panhandle of FL, S AL, S MS and SE LA as well as much of the NE GoM. The smoke plume is moving due S in the northern portions of the plume and bends toward the SE the further south (near 27N) in the plume as it wraps around the SW portions of Barry. The smoke is bound by 24N87W to 25N84W to 27N86W to 28N85W to Panama City, FL to 32N88W to McComb, MS to Baton Rouge, LA to 28N89W to 27N89W to 26.5N89.5W to 24N87W.
