Smoke Description

Descriptive text narrative for smoke/dust observed in satelite imagery through June 19, 2024, 12:25 p.m.

SMOKE:
Central and Eastern United States - A large area of light density smoke attributed to a combination of smoke from ongoing wildfires throughout Eastern Canada, seasonal fire activity throughout the Central and Atlantic Seaboard regions of the U.S. and the continued combination of smoke and aerosols emanating from the Gulf of Mexico continue to be observed today. Various individual events throughout these regions such as large wildfires and seasonal agricultural burning are contributing elements to the vast combined area of smoke that can be seen covering these regions. As the morning progressed the two large bands of smoke running through the Central and Eastern regions of the United States began separate and disperse in opposite directions, with the band located in the Central U.S. moving west and the band located in the Eastern U.S. moving east.

Quebec/Newfoundland and Labrador/Labrador Sea - An area of remnant smoke attributed to several ongoing wildfires located throughout Central and Southern Canada was also observed this morning despite some cloud cover over the region. This area of remnant smoke appeared to be light density, covering areas of northern Quebec and the majority of Newfoundland and Labrador. The smoke which has combined with areas from the Northeastern U.S. was observed moving east-southeast into the Labrador Sea just south of Greenland.

Northern California - A large plume of moderate to heavy localized density smoke attributed to a wildfire located northwest of Sacramento was observed this morning moving northwest in direction. Although the smoke plume was seen extending past the coastline into the Pacific Ocean, most of the smoke remained relatively stagnant close to the source.

New Mexico - The two large ongoing wildfires located in a South-Central New Mexico tribal reservation continue to be observed emitting large plumes of moderate density smoke that were seen dispersing northeast in direction. As of late morning, these plumes were seen extending as far as Central Colorado and Western Kansas, however, a significant amount of cloud cover throughout the Central United States today prevents a more detailed analysis on the extent of which these plumes extend.

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.

How to survive a wildfire? ›

If you're surrounded by fire, you may need to find the best place you can to avoid the flames. As such, covering your body with mud or a wet blanket or taking refuge in water until the fire passes can save your life. A roadway can also provide a buffer from flames, especially if it's wide.

Why are wildfires bad? ›

In addition to contaminating the air with toxic pollutants, wildfires also simultaneously impact the climate by releasing large quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

What is a wildfire in simple words? ›

A wildfire is an unplanned, unwanted fire burning in a natural area, such as a forest, grassland, or prairie. Wildfires can start from natural causes, such as lightning, but most are caused by humans, either accidentally or intentionally.

Can smoke travel from state to state? ›

Smoke can travel hundreds of miles, so you can be impacted even if you're not near an active fire.

How many miles away can you see a fire? ›

Upon further investigation (hello, Google), I found out that two physicists put this question to the test. By taking into account the study of starlight and candle light, these scientists found the farthest distance a human eye can detect a candle flame is more like 1.6 miles.

Where is the safest place to go during a wildfire? ›

If Trapped in a Wildfire While on Foot:
