THROUGH 1600Z JUNE 21, 2008
North Carolina/Virginia/Atlantic: The Evans Road and South 1 fires in eastern North Carolina and the Great Dysmal Swamp are obscured by clouds this morning. Wind flow patterns in the area suggest smoke from these fires would be confined to extreme eastern portion of North Carolina and southeast Virgiana and extend east into the Atlantic. An area of light smoke can be seen from off the New Jersey coast eastward, just to the south of Long Island and Cap Cod. California/Nevada/ Utah: Residual smoke from Indians fire in Monterey county and the Clover fire in Tulare county was seen extending from central California across southern Nevada and into central Utah. The smoke in California and Nevada was generally thin while the smoke across central Utah was moderately dense. The smoke in California was drifting to the north-northeast across the central Sierra Nevada while the smoke in Nevada and Utah was drifting to the east. Arkansas: A small patch of light smoke was seen over north central Arkansas drifting to the south. Saskatchewan/Manitoba: A fire in northern Saskatchewan south of Lake Athabasca has been producing a plume of moderately dense to dense smoke that extends to the southeast with the smoke running from the eastern tip of Lake Athabasca to the southern portion of Reindeer lake and into west central Manitoba.
