DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 2350Z June 8th, 2025
SMOKE: Canada/Central and Eastern United States/Atlantic Ocean/Europe... Wildfire activity across Western and Central Canada continues to produce thick smoke that is spreading east from northeast British Columbia to Quebec and the northeastern United States. Light smoke covers most of Alaska, Canada, and the United States east of the Rockies, and moves east over the Atlantic towards Europe. AEROSOL/SMOKE: Mexico/Gulf of America... An area of light density smoke and aerosols, attributed to widespread seasonal fire activity, volcanic emissions, and industrial sources was observed extending over most of Mexico and the Yucatan, moving north into Texas and mixing with smoke from Canada before moving east toward the Atlantic. DUST: Tropical Atlantic... Saharan Dust was observed moving west from the Atlantic into the Caribbean. Mills 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: JPEG:http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/data/land/fire/currenthms.jpg Smoke data: https://satepsanone.nesdis.noaa.gov/pub/FIRE/web/HMS/Smoke_Polygons Fire data: https://satepsanone.nesdis.noaa.gov/pub/FIRE/web/HMS/Fire_Points ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE SENT TO: SSDFireTeam@noaa.gov
