SMOKE:
Southeastern U.S., Gulf Coast...
An area of light density smoke was observed over the southeastern
U.S. stretching from far eastern Texas, east through most of the Gulf
States, south into The Gulf of Mexico along the coast, then ending in
southeastern Alabama.
Arizona...
A Wildfire in eastern Arizona was emitting a plumb of light to moderated
density smoke which was moving southwest in direction before it extends
under cloud covered.
Missouri...
Two light density smoke plumbs were observed in southern Missouri from
seasonal burning activity. The light density smoke plumbs were moving
south in direction with one entering northern Arkansas as evening
approached.
Much of the seasonal burning areas were cloud covered today preventing
further smoke analysis.
