THROUGH 1530Z May 16, 2008
Great Lakes and Midwest:
Light to moderate haze, consisting in part of residual smoke from ag
fires located across southern Canada and the northern Plains, was moving
southeast across the Midwest and Great Lakes.
- 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.
