THROUGH 0005Z October 13, 2005

Lower Mississippi Valley:
Numerous agricultural burns are producing thin smoke plumes over the
Lower Mississippi Valley.

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.
