Florida/Gulf of Mexico/Lower Mississippi Valley: A large plume of thin smoke and haze extended from the southern Gulf of Mexico across Florida to the the Atlantic Ocean. A plume of thin smoke from agriculture fires extended from southern Arkansas to northern Alabama. Canada/Great Plains: A large area of light to heavy smoke from fires in Canada stretched southward through the Dakotas into the Southern Plains. Large fires in northern British Columbia, Yukon Territory and southwestern Northwest Territories caused moderate and heavy smoke that extended southward to SW Saskatchewan. Heavy smoke fanned out to the south and southeast from fires in NE Alberta. Narrow plumes of light and moderately dense smoke drifted southward from a cluster of fires in NW Saskatchewan. Brown
