THROUGH 1500Z UTC August 25, 2007

California/Nevada:
Thin and moderately dense smoke from the large fire in Santa Barbara
County in southern California moved northward to central California and
western Nevada.

Northwestern United States:
Thin smoke extended from the fires in central Idaho to southwestern
Montana and northwestern Wyoming.

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.
