Smoke Description

Descriptive text narrative for smoke/dust observed in satelite imagery through Aug. 16, 2024, 7:41 p.m.

SMOKE:
Canada/Central and Eastern United States/Gulf of Mexico/Atlantic Ocean - A layer of mixed density smoke attributed to a combination of seasonal burning throughout the United States and the significant amount of wildfire activity across north-central and central Canada, as well as the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, continues to be observed today throughout the majority of Canada and the eastern region of the United States. This mixed density smoke was seen extending from the central parts of the Northwest Territories and British Columbia, through central Saskatchewan and Manitoba, moving moving east-southeast over the Hudson Bay and Quebec and into the Northeast region of the United States, before extending further east over the Labrador Sea and parts of the northern Atlantic Ocean. Seasonal fire activity across the Southeast region of the United States resulted in a layer of light density smoke that was seen extending south-southeast into the eastern portion of the Gulf of Mexico, where it began moving further east into the Atlantic Ocean towards Hurricane Ernesto. The area of smoke covering the eastern parts of Canada and the northeastern part of the United States was predominantly moderate in density, with some areas of localized thick density smoke moderate density smoke seen throughout eastern Canada, the Northeast region of the United States and the northern Atlantic Ocean. A band of moderate-thick density smoke was also observed moving southeast through the Midwest region of the United States, extending from southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. With the clearing of some weather systems this evening numerous fires could be seen starting to release heavy smoke throughout the Northwest Territories, eastern Saskatchewan and western Manitoba.

California/Pacific Northwest - Numerous wildfires throughout the Pacific Northwest region continue to be observed today, including the Boise and Park fires located in northern California, as well as several fires throughout British Columbia, Washington State, Oregon and Idaho. Plumes ranging from moderate to heavy, around the sources, were observed emanating from these wildfires, blanketing the area with a layer of moderate density smoke.

DUST: A moderate amount of Saharan Dust was seen traveling westward across the Atlantic Ocean towards with a lighter amount of Saharan Dust seen over the central Caribbean Sea.

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.
