A large area of blowing dust/sand is seen across much of West Texas and
extreme southeast New Mexico extending to the east and northeast reaching
the Red River along the southwest Oklahoma border. The sand/dust is most

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.
