THROUGH 0300Z March 9, 2008

Texas:
In Kenedy County, in Southern Texas, two fires were observed producing
extensive smoke, although light, and the smoke was moving north-northeast
into Kleburg, Nueces, and San Patricio Counties.  The smoke plumes
extended out roughly 50 miles from the sources.
A light smoke plume from a fire in far western Nueces County was seen
moving north into Jim Wells County.

Florida:
A very light, short-lived smoke plume extended from Walton County along
the panhandle, where it originated, across to Calhoun County.

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.
