DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1601Z November 1, 2019
SMOKE:
Southern California...
Fire activity across coastal southern California was responsible for a
large area of remnant smoke across the Pacific coastline. Active smoke
plumes were being blown in different directions. Much of the smoke was
moving off towards the west out over the Pacific, but a few plumes were
then moving north and south along the coast.
Oregon/Idaho/Washington/British Columbia...
Widespread fire activity was noted throughout British Columbia south into
Oregon and Idaho but were not visible this morning and early afternoon.
Arizona...
Continued fire activity along the Mogollon Rim was producing remnant light
smoke that was moving east across New Mexico and into northern Texas.
Southern Florida...
Agricultural fires continued to produce mainly light smoke near and
south of Lake Okeechobee. A wind shift was noted as smoke, which was
moving north-northwesterly was moving north-northeasterly by sunset..

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
