DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0126Z November 7, 2021
SMOKE:
Gulf Coast, Mississippi Valley...
Widespread seasonal burning activity was prevalent across eastern Texas,
The Mississippi valley and the Gulf Coast creating numerous small and/or
stagnate areas of light to moderate smoke. The highest density of analyzed
fire activity was across northeastern Arkansas. This was responsible for
an area of light to moderate density smoke over northeastern Arkansas
and southeastern Missouri. A couple plumbs were observed moving south
off the Gulf Coast into the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico
Arizona, New Mexico...
Wildfires remained in eastern Arizona and they were responsible for two
large plumbs of light to moderate density smoke that was moving northeast
into western New Mexico.
Saskatchewan...
Remnant light density smoke was observed through clouds in southern
Saskatchewan. This smoke is likely from the ongoing heavy burning in
western Canada.
