DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0045Z APRIL 3, 2006.

Maryland/ Cuba:
A fire in western Accomack County in SE Maryland produced a narrow
plume of thin smoke that drifted to the east out over the Atlantic
Ocean. Numerous fires in Cuba caused plumes of thin smoke that drifted
mostly toward the west and south away from southern Florida.

Colorado/ New Mexico:
Fires in NE Colorado produced dense smoke that extended to the south
and then eastward to south central Kansas. A large fire in SW Socorro
County in SW New Mexico produced a plume of dense smoke that extended
eastward across southern Lincoln County.

Brown

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.
