THROUGH 1700Z November 6, 2019
SMOKE:
Four Corners Region...
Light to moderate remnant smoke was noted over the Four Corners region,
extending from west to east along the Utah/Arizona and Colorado/New
Mexico borders. The parent fire activity was across northern Arizona
last night. The remnant smoke is moving off toward the east-northeast.
In addition, two fires were noted across southern Utah that were producing
light to moderate smoke.
South Central and Southeastern U.S...
Widespread agricultural burning was noted across the southern and
southeastern CONUS, with most of the smoke production occurring in
Georgia. Much of the smoke was light in nature with one or two producing
slightly more thick smoke. The smoke was moving counter-clockwise around
a surface high pressure center over the Appalachians.
Alberta and British Columbia...
Numerous fires were noted across much of British Columbia and Alberta
this morning. Smoke light to moderate smoke was moving eastward from
fires in northern Alberta and northwestward from a fire in central
British Columbia.
