DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1700Z MARCH 14, 2006
Texas: A significant fire continues to burn along the Donley/Collingsworth County border of the northern Texas panhandle. The smoke plume from this fire initially was moving in a southeasterly direction very early this morning, but changing winds are now pushing the locally moderately dense smoke in a northward direction across portions of Gray and Wheeler Counties. Gulf of Mexico: Visible imagery shows a possible thin swath of leftover smoke along with blowing dust/sand along cold front moving southeastward over the central Gulf of Mexico. Cloudiness present over the region is making detection difficult at this time. JS
