DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1700Z November 11, 2019
SMOKE:
Utah/New Mexico/Arizona...
A couple fires across south-central Utah were observed emitting smoke
this morning. The most significant smoke producer was the fire in Piute
County, which was producing moderately thick smoke that was moving
south. Also associated with this fire was a region of remnant smoke
across northeastern Arizona and northern New Mexico that was moving
off toward the east. A smaller patch of remnant smoke was seen at the
Utah/Arizona border, with much of the patch in Arizona, moving south.
Southeastern CONUS...
Likely agricultural fire activity from Louisiana to Virginia was noted in
today's analysis. Mainly light smoke was observed emanating from fires
from north Florida into South Carolina, with slightly thicker smoke
from two Georgia fires. Nearly all smoke was seen moving off toward
the northeast.
South Florida...
What is almost certainly agricultural fire activity across south Florida
near and south of Lake Okeechobee was seen producing light smoke that
was moving off toward the west or west-northwest.
