DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0000Z June 30, 2025
SMOKE: Northeastern Alaska/Northern Canada... Wildfire activity continues across Northeastern British Columbia, southwestern Northwest Territories, Northwestern Alberta, Northeastern Saskatchewan and Northwestern Manitoba, resulting in a large plume of light smoke that covers much of those regions and extends to the west over Northeastern Alaska and to the east over Nunavut, across Hudson Bay and over the Davis Strait. Pockets of moderate-to-heavy smoke could also be observed over Northeastern British Columbia where there is a high concentration of large active wildfires, with some of the thicker smoke dispersing eastward over Northern Alberta. Southwestern US... Wildfires in Southwestern Utah remained active this evening with moderate density smoke spreading over Southern Utah and Northwestern New Mexico. Light smoke extended outward from those areas into Southern Nevada as well as over Colorado and Southwestern Nebraska. Rodriguez 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
