DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0150Z July 26, 2007

Oregon/Idaho/Montana:
A fire in southern Morrow county of northern Oregon is producing a
moderately dense plume of smoke that is moving to both the south and
the north with the denser portion moving southward into Grant county of
Oregon. A bunch of fires in western and central Idaho county of western
Idaho are producing moderately dense to very dense plumes of smoke that
are mainly moving east-northeasterly into eastern Idaho county. A fire
in Nei Perce county of western Idaho is producing a thin to moderately
dense plume of smoke that is moving northeasterly into central Clearwater
county of Idaho. A fire in northeastern corner of Idaho county of Idaho
is producing a very dense plume of smoke that is moving westerly across
Ravalli county of Montana into western Granite county of Montana. A fire
in Lewis and Clark county of Montana is producing a moderately dense to
dense plume of smoke that is moving northeasterly into Cascade county
of Montana. A fire in Lake county of Montana is producing a thin to
moderately dense plume of smoke that is moving northeasterly.

California:
A fire in western Siskiyou county is producing a thin to moderately
dense plume of smoke that is moving northerly into Josephine and Jackson
counties of southern Oregon. A fire in Santa Barbara is producing a
moderately dense plume of smoke that is moving westerly into the Pacific.

Alberta/Saskatchewan:
Several fires west of Reindeer Lake are producing moderately dense
plumes of smoke that is moving easterly across Reindeer Lake into north
of central Saskatchewan. Many large fires in northern Saskatchewan are
producing dense to very dense plumes of smoke that are moving easterly to
eastern boundary of Saskatchewan or into Hudson Bay. A fire just north
of Cedar Lake is producing a moderately dense to locally dense plume of
smoke that is moving easterly across northern Lake Winnipeg.

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.
