North Carolina: The Evans Road and South 1 fires continue to emit moderately dense to dense smoke which is traveling to the east and south. The smoke extends over 400km to the northeast staying off of the coast. To the south an area of haze can be seen off the coast of South Carolina which is most likely remnants of emissions from the fires on previous days. California: The Indians fire is producing smoke which is traveling offshore to the south. The area of smoke extends over 300km before it becomes indecipherable and is nearly 100km wide. Canada: In the first few visible images of the day an area of haze is seen extending across the border of northern Manitoba and Ontario provinces. -Salemi
