DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 2350Z June 14, 2025
SMOKE: Alaska/Canada/Northern and Central United States/Atlantic Ocean... Wildfire activity across northeastern British Columbia, central Manitoba and western Ontario continued to generate thick density smoke across central Canada. The most concentrated plumes were observed over northern Ontario and southern Hudson Bay, with the smoke spreading eastward across Quebec and into the North Atlantic. A substantial band of moderate density smoke extended west to east from northeastern British Columbia across the Prairie Provinces and into Quebec. Lighter smoke was visible moving southeast across the Great Lakes and into the northeastern U.S., continuing offshore over the western Atlantic. Additional plumes originating from active fires in central Alaska and the Yukon were observed drifting eastward and merging with broader smoke layers over northern Canada. Parts of the Northwest Territories, Labrador, and coastal Greenland were affected by long range transport of the northern smoke band. AEROSOL/SMOKE: Mexico... Light smoke and aerosols were observed along the western coastline of Mexico and across the Yucatan. Cardona 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
