Upper Mississippi Valley:
Fires in eastern Polk County in Central Iowa and northern Palo Alto County
in Northern Iowa produced plumes of thin smoke. Fires in Winona County
in SE Minnesota and Kittson County in NW Minnesota also caused thin smoke.

Arkansas/Tennessee/Missouri/Oklahoma:

fires in N Arkansas, NE Oklahoma and SW Missouri. Thin smoke drifted to

Van Buren County in eastern Tennessee.

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.
