DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 1600 June 10, 2021

SMOKE:
Rockies/Central and Northern Plains:
A wildfire in northern Utah is emitting moderately dense to dense smoke
northeast into Wyoming and southeast Montana. Residual smoke can be seen
moving east/southeast across the Central and Northern Plains, as far
south as Oklahoma and Arkansas and as far north as North Dakota/Minnesota
and as far east as Wisconsin and western Illinois. Lighter density smoke
may be farther east, but cannot be determined at this time.

Mexico:
Pockets of smoke can be seen across several regions as day time burning
starts and numerous fires are producing light to moderately dense smoke
across Mexico.

THIS TEXT PRODUCT IS PRIMARILY INTENDED TO DESCRIBE SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF
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
FIRE IN VARIOUS GRAPHIC FORMATS ON OUR WEB SITE:

Unless otherwise indicated:

Areas of smoke are analyzed using GOES-EAST and GOES-WEST Visible satellite imagery.

Only a general description of areas of smoke or significant smoke plumes will be analyzed.

A quantitative assessment of the density/amount of particulate or the vertical distribution is not included.

Widespread cloudiness may prevent the detection of smoke even from significant fires.
