SMOKE:
Eastern Canada/Northern Great Lakes...
A combination of remnant smoke and attached smoke plumes were observed
over much of eastern Canada, from far-east central Saskatchewan into
Manitoba, western Ontario and the far northern Great Lakes. The parent
fire for the remnant smoke is likely the ongoing fire in west-central
Ontario that has been the most impressive smoke producing fire this
morning. The smoke from these fires is moving off toward the southeast.
