DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1530Z September 13, 2006
Pacific Northwest/Northern Rockies/Central and Northern Plains: The large number of wildfires burning (particularly) in Idaho, Washington, and California have resulted in a large area of smoke that stretched from northern California across Idaho, northern Wyoming, and Montana into the Dakotas, Nebraska, northeast Colorado and central Kansas. The smoke was particularly dense across western Nebraska and northeast Colorado. Manitoba and Ontario: Fires along the eastern shore of Lake Winnipeg have produced a narrow band of dense smoke that extended into south central Ontario. Some of this smoke was moving southeast across Lake Superior.
