DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0300Z January 14, 2008

Florida:
Along the panhandle, a couple fires produced light smoke plumes. These
plumes were seen moving offshore.

Louisiana:
Fires along the Gulf Coast produced light smoke plumes, which were moving
offshore in a southerly direction. Some of these plumes extend out 50
miles from their sources.

Texas:
Mostly light smoke plumes have occurred, however, one fire did produce
a moderate smoke plume in northern Trinity County.  The plume was seen
moving to the southwest and extending 15 miles from the source.

Hawaii:
Burning vegetation from Kilauea is producing a light smoke plume, and
extends to the west about 50 miles.

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.
