DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0155Z May 26, 2007

Southeast/Lower Mississippi Valley/Northeast:
An area of moderate and heavy smoke extended from the Bugaboo and
Turnaround fires in SE Georgia to the Lower Mississippi Valley. Thin smoke
and haze, just ahead of a cold front, extended northeastward through the
Ohio Valley to New England and SE Canada. Plumes of thin smoke drifted
westward to the Gulf of Mexico from fires in eastern Collier County and
western Osceola County in S Florida.

SE Canada:
The large fire in SW Quebec continued to produce a plume of heavy smoke
that moved to the east.

Alaska:
Light and moderate smoke moved northeastward from fires in central
Yukon-Koyukuk and southern Fairbanks North Star Counties.

Brown

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.
