THROUGH 2345Z NOVEMBER 11, 2008
A very cloudy day across nearly all of the US, N Mexico and S Canada has obscured detection of smoke except for a few puffs of thin smoke. North Carolina: A fire in central Carteret county produced a puff of thin smoke that was about 5km wide by 10km long that moved SSW offshore not more than 20km. Alabama: A fire on the central Butler and Crenshaw county line produced thin smoke that moved WNW into cloudy conditions near SW Dallas county. The plume was about 7km wide. N Texas Panhandle: A fire in far east central Hansford county produced a puff of thin smoke that moved SSE into NW Roberts county and was about 5km wide. Western Ontario: Early in the afternoon a few smoke plumes could be seen moving N from fires in the woodlands N of the Boundary Waters of MN, but clouds quickly covered further detection by early evening.
