THROUGH 0100Z December 07, 2007
Southeast US: A tremendous amount of fire activity was noted over the region this evening. However, widespread high cloudiness overspread the region over the late afternoon and early evening hours which made smoke detection quite difficult. Some of the more noteworthy smoke plumes that were detected were located in the following areas: Louisiana/Texas: Numerous smoke plumes were evident this evening that all appeared to be mostly drifting to the north. The most significant smoke plumes were located with a fires over southern Vernon and southern Winn parishes. Both of these fires featured very dense smoke plumes that were drifting to the north into Sabine and Jackson, respectively. A fire located over western Cameron parish featured a moderate to localized highly dense smoke plume that was drifting to the northwest into Jefferson county Texas. A fire over northern Montgomery county had a rather large but thin smoke plume that was lifting rapidly north at sunset into the counties of Houston and southern Cherokee. Hanna
