DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0215Z September 27, 2006
Northern California/Oregon and Idaho: Numerous fires produced a large area of dense smoke that drifted to the N and NE from northern California/southwestern Oregon to the Pacific Ocean. Dense smoke emanated from fire clusters in N Trinity/SW Siskiyou County in N California and central Douglas County in SW Oregon. Other fires in Oregon produced plumes of thin smoke in central Harney, southern Crook and western Union County. Thin smoke extended mostly to the east from fires in Benewah, Shoshone, N Idaho and Valley County in Idaho. Southern California/Baja The large fire in N Ventura County continues to cause dense smoke that stretched eastward to southern Nevada. Thin and moderately dense smoke also drifted to the NE from fires in NW Imperial County and Northern Baja. Southeastern States: Scattered fires produced plumes of thin smoke that drifted mostly southward over the Gulf States and the Carolinas. Brown
