DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0130Z June 7, 2021

SMOKE:
Southeastern Arizona, Texas, Western New Mexico...
The Mescal and Telegraph wildfire complexes in Southeastern Arizona
and the Doagy Fire in western New Mexico were emitting large amounts of
light to heavy density smoke progressing northeast into New Mexico and
then the plumes combine as they are swept southeast extending through
most of Texas ending near the Gulf of Mexico.

Utah, Wyoming, Idaho...
In northern and central Utah two light to heavy density smoke plumes
attributed to wildfires were moderate moving northeast into southern
Idaho in the north and Wyoming.

Manitoba, Saskatchewan...
In southern Saskatchewan and central Manitoba two light to moderate
density smoke plumes attributed to wildfires were observed through the
clouds moving east.

Gulf of Mexico/Mexico/Central America/Pacific south of Mexico...
A large area of light to moderate density smoke remains in the area
covering much of northern/southern/central Mexico, Central America, a
portion of the Pacific south of Mexico, the western Gulf of Mexico, up
to Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico. Embedded patches of moderate to heavy
density smoke were visible in association with some of the more active
fires especially in Mexico, and along the coasts. This area of smoke
was due mainly to the ongoing seasonal fires in Mexico, Central America,
and the Mescal and Telegraph wildfire complexes in Southeastern Arizona.

THIS TEXT PRODUCT IS PRIMARILY INTENDED TO DESCRIBE SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF
SMOKE ASSOCIATED WITH ACTIVE FIRES AND SMOKE WHICH HAS BECOME DETACHED
FROM THE FIRES AND DRIFTED SOME DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE SOURCE FIRE.
TYPICALLY OVER THE COURSE OF ONE OR MORE DAYS.  AREAS OF BLOWING DUST ARE
ALSO DESCRIBED.  USERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO VIEW A GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF THESE
AND OTHER PLUMES WHICH ARE LESS EXTENSIVE AND STILL ATTACHED TO THE SOURCE
FIRE IN VARIOUS GRAPHIC FORMATS ON OUR WEB SITE:

ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE SENT TO:

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.
