THROUGH 0240Z November 4, 2006

Arizona:
Two fires in western and southern Coconino county and a fire in
northeastern Yavapai county are producing moderately dense plumes of
smoke moving east northeast. These smoke plumes just influence locally.

Southeastern US(Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi):
Many agricultural fires in this area are producing thin to moderately
dense plumes of smoke moving mainly southward. These fires include:

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.
