DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0200Z June 6, 2007
Lower Mississippi Valley: A good portion of the massive amount of agricultural fires located in the Lower Mississippi Valley are producing quick (1-2 hour) puffs of light to moderately dense smoke that traveled a fair distance to the north. The majority of the agricultural fires producing smoke are found in eastern Arkansas and northwestern Mississippi. Arizona: A large fire in Navajo County is producing moderately dense smoke that is narrow, but lengthy, stretching to the east across the New Mexico/Arizona state line. Canada: In the northeastern part of Yukon Territory, there was a large fire that flared up late in the evening that is now producing very dense smoke that is spreading out to the north northeast. Very large fires in northern Alberta and central Alberta have been producing very dense smoke throughout the entire day that was originally moving to the west southwest, but late in the evening began moving directly to the south. In Saskatchewan large fires northeast of Lake Athabasca and in central Saskatchewan are producing moderately dense to very dense smoke that is moving south southeast. Light smoke that has strayed from the major plumes is covering the majority of northeastern British Columbia, central/northern Alberta and central Saskatchewan. Banks
