DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0215Z July 3, 2007
New Mexico/Arizona: Multiple fires on the central border of Arizona and New Mexico are producing moderately dense to dense smoke that is moving to the south and slightly southwest, affecting Arizona a bit more. Utah: The large fire in Duschesne county of northeast Utah has been producing moderately dense to dense smoke throughout most of the day that is moving to the northeast and affecting southwest Wyoming and northwest Colorado. A smaller fire in southwest Utah, on the border of Iron and Beaver counties is producing moderately dense smoke that is moving to the north northeast. Wyoming: In Park county a fire is producing a small plume of moderately dense smoke that is moving northeast. Canada: The large group of fires that are spread throughout northern Saskatchewan and into southeastern Northwest Territories continue to produce massive amounts of very dense smoke. The most dense smoke is found moving into northern Manitoba, but moderately dense and dense smoke can be seen moving to the southeast and affecting most of northern and central Manitoba as well as western Quebec. Less dense smoke from smaller fires can be seen moving to the north affecting most of the Northwest Territories and reaching western Nunavut. Remnant smoke produced by these fires earlier in the day could be seen moving throughout all of Northwest Territories and into northern Alaska, but this smoke has slowly dissipated and mixed in with heavy clouds so it was undeterminable exactly where it was. Alaska: A fire in northeast Alaska is producing light smoke that is moving directly east of the fire. Banks
