DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0300Z February 1, 2008
Texas: Strong winds behind a low pressure system has fanned out numerous smoke plumes from numerous fires, especially over south Texas. Kerr, La Salle, Frio, and Dimmit Counties have had the most fire and smoke activity today. Light to moderate smoke plumes from these fires have been moving towards the southeast and some of these plumes extend at least a hundred miles from their sources. In addition, in central Texas, blowing dust is evident from satellite imagery racing toward the south and east into southeastern Texas, including the Houston and Galveston areas. Hawaii: Burning vegetation from Kilauea is producing a very light smoke plume on satellite imagery moving in a westward fashion. EVANS
