DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1800Z November 29, 2005
New Mexico/Texas/Louisiana: Early morning GOES-West visible imagery shows a possible swath of thin airborne dust extending from east central New Mexico across central to southeastern Texas and southern Louisiana. The possible thin area of dust then likely spreads across the northern Gulf of Mexico though this is outside of the GOES-West viewing area. The dust does not show up in GOES-East imagery due to the unfavorable sun angle for this satellite during the morning. The source region of this possible dust cloud is unknown and may be leftover from yesterday. JS
