Smoke Description

Descriptive text narrative for smoke/dust observed in satelite imagery.

SMOKE:
Canada/United States/Mexico - A large area of mixed density smoke from wildfires throughout northwestern Canada, northern Washington State, and from eastern Canada continues to be seen today, stretching from eastern Alaska to the North Atlantic and continuing east offshore, and covering most of the US as far south as Baja and northern Mexico. A large area of moderate density smoke was moving east from northeastern British Columbia, northern Alberta, and far southwestern Northwest Territory after having been moving southeastward earlier today over Saskatchewan, southern Manitoba, the northern Plains, Great Lakes, and southeastern Canada, where further wildfire activity was adding to the layer moving east-northeastward out over the North Atlantic. Some is also perhaps becoming entrained in a high pressure area off the Mid-Atlantic coast bringing some of the smoke southward towards the Carolinas and Florida

Western CONUS - Scattered Wildfire activity from southern California to Oregon and Utah was helping to create another area of light to moderate density smoke that was covering an area from southern Washington State to northwestern Mexico. A couple wildfires in southern California were producing moderate smoke moving mainly northward to northeastward, while smoke from northern California was seen moving multiple directions and a wildfire in central Utah was producing thick smoke moving south-southeast. Remnant smoke from previous days was seen in a ring around Nevada and extending southward across northwestern Mexico, with the thickest remnant smoke seen arcing from the Oregon/Idaho/Washington triple point westward to the coast then south along the Oregon coast to offshore of northern California. There could be minor contributions from the area mentioned above, but this area does appear to be distinct from that large area.

BLOWING DUST: Eastern and Central Caribbean/Tropical Atlantic - A fairly thick layer of Saharan Dust was seen extending westward from the Sahara to the Central Caribbean as far west as Jamaica. There could possibly be some dust in the smoke area over the Bahamas and western Caribbean, although there is less certainty in that assessment.

FAQs

How far away can you see smoke from a forest fire? ›

Wildfire smoke can travel long distances, extending far beyond the immediate fire zone. Carried by prevailing winds, it can cover hundreds, or even thousands, of miles. This means that even if a community is not close to a wildfire, it may still be exposed to its smoke.
