Northeast Texas/Southern Oklahoma: Widespread fire activity was noted over northeast Texas this evening. The only smoke that was observed on satellite imagery from this activity was from fire activity over northwestern Harrison county and over northwest Titus county. Both plumes were seen drifting northwest. The plume from the fire over Titus county was mostly thin and was seen crossing the Red River into Choctaw county in Oklahoma. The smoke plume from the fire just south of the Lake O' the Pines over northwest Harrison county was seen approaching Camp county. The plume appeared much more dense compared to its northern counterpart. Olympic Peninsula of Washington/Vancouver Island: Scattered to widespread fire activity over the Olympic Peninsula of Washington and over Vancouver Island was producing numerous smoke plumes that were seen drifting west into the open waters of the Pacific Ocean. Most of the smoke plumes were moderately to at times locally dense. Hanna
