DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0150Z April 26, 2007
Georgia/South Carolina: Evening visible satellite imagery showed an elongated swath of thin to moderately dense and even locally dense smoke (closer to the fire) extending to the northeast into southern South Carolina from the ongoing fire in Ware County of southeastern Georgia. More thin smoke attributed to this fire was detected off the coast of Georgia, South Carolina, and also south coast of North Carolina. This smoke, which is now moving to the northeast, appears to have originated from the fire yesterday and today when westerly winds were blowing the smoke to the east and offshore. Another fire in central Berkeley county of South Carolina is producing a thin to moderately dense plume of smoke that is moving northeasterly along the Willamsburg-Georgetown county border into central Horry county. Minnesota and southeastern Manitoba of Canada: A fire near US-Canada border in northeastern Kittson county of northern Minnesota is producing a moderately dense to locally dense plume of smoke that is fanning out to the east and covered northeastern Kittson, northern Roseau counties, and southeastern corner of Manitoba in Canada. Another fire in northern Roseau county is producing a thin plume of smoke that is moving northerly into southern Manitoba of Canada. Zhong
