DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1630Z September 23, 2007
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio: Thin remnant smoke mixed with haze could be seen in the first few visible satellite images of the day. Areas affected are Kansas (excluding western Kansas), eastern Nebraska, almost all of Iowa (which is also where the smoke is most dense), northern Missouri, central Illinois, central Indiana, and central Ohio. The smoke presumably originated from yesterday's agricultural burns in Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas. Most of the smoke area is quasi-stationary but the area over Iowa is drifting slowly northward.
