Lower Mississippi Valley:
Several smoke plumes were moving north from fires in the Lower Mississippi
Valley, most notable among them the Saltine County fire in  Arkansas
and another Arkansas fire burning in Scott County.

Carolinas:
Smoke moved southwest from a fire in Berkeley County, South Carolina
earlier in the day.  A blaze in Dare County's Pea Island NWR sent smoke
southwest across the Pamlico Sound to Cedar Island.

Kentucky:
Dense smoke was moving north from a fire in Whitley County.

Florida:
Long plumes of moderately dense smoke extended west southwest from fires
in Dixie and Bay counties.

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.
