DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1430Z July 7, 2007
Utah: A massive fire straddling the Millard/Beaver county border has emitted a large amount of smoke which presently covers all of the eastern half of Utah and bordering portions of Colorado and Arizona. This may be mixed with residue smoke from a wildfire in northwest Arizona in Mohave county that is only producing light smoke which is mostly over northern Arizona and southwest Utah. California/Oregon/Idaho/Nevada: A large area of smoke from a fire in northern Plumas county in northern California is covering much of southeast Oregon, extreme northeast California and northwest Nevada, and southern Idaho through the Snake River Valley. Some light smoke may extend as far as western Wyoming. Smoke from a fire in Inyo county near the Fresno county border in California extends northward into western Nevada. The wildfire in Santa Barbara county in the Sierra Madre Mountains is emitting a thin plume of smoke northward across eastern San Luis Obispo and western Kern counties. Small fires in northern Pershing county and in northern Elko county in Nevada are producing little smoke. Alaska/Northwest Territories: Smoke appears to have dissipated over most of Alaska but some some covers northern Yukon in Canada and the northwestern portion of the Northwest Territory from fires in those locations.
