Smoke Description

Descriptive text narrative for smoke/dust observed in satelite imagery through June 15, 2024, 6:05 p.m.

SMOKE:
Southwestern US/Midwestern US/Southern US/ Atlantic Seaboard - Remnant smoke originating from previous and ongoing wildfires in Canada, has mixed with both current smoke from ongoing fires in the Midwest and smoke/aerosols emanating from the Gulf of Mexico. This mass of smoke and aerosols have been observed blowing eastwards and blanketing the Midwestern and Southern US states. The mass of smoke was observed wrapping around the central Appalachian Mountains and blowing across the east coast into the Atlantic Ocean.

South Central Utah/Northern New Mexico/Central Texas - Lite to Medium density smoke emanating from suspected agricultural burns in South Central Utah have continued to persist into the evening. The large band of smoke observed in the morning proceeded to blow towards the east, crossing into states such as Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and bending towards the South into Central Texas.

FAQs

How far away can you smell wildfire smoke? ›

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

Tell Me More ›

How long do wildfires last? ›

Since the 1970s, the wildfire season in western states has extended from 5 months to over 7 months in length.

Read The Full Story ›

How to prepare for a wildfire? ›

Getting ready for wildfire begins with two very important efforts: Home Hardening and Defensible Space. Hardening your home is retrofitting it with fire resistant materials. Defensible Space is creating and maintaining a buffer between buildings and vegetation to slow fire spread.

How to protect yourself from wildfire smoke? ›

Keep windows and doors closed. Use fans and air conditioning to stay cool. If you cannot stay cool, seek shelter elsewhere. Reduce the smoke that enters your home.

Find Out More ›

Does air conditioning clean air of smoke? ›

The filters within most AC units can help remove some airborne particles through regular air circulation, but they fall short when it comes to effectively capturing smoke particles, which require more specialized filtration solutions.

Discover More ›

Is it okay to use an air conditioner when it's smoky outside? ›

Yes, you can run your AC when air quality is bad, as it is currently in much of the United States due to the wildfire smoke from Canada — but only do so if it's recirculating inside air, which means that it's not pulling air in from the outdoors, Dr.

Know More ›

Which state has the most wildfires? ›

California almost always tops the list of states with the most wildfires, and it's a good example of how some states face greater risk because of their climate. The state's dry climate coupled with regional winds increase its wildfire risk.

Tell Me More ›

Can rain put out a wildfire? ›

As the weather warms and dries, the fuels also begin to dry out. If a fire starts early in the season, the fuels have a higher moisture content and rain can more easily put the fire out.

Show Me More ›

What is the longest burning fire in the world? ›

A coal seam-fueled eternal flame in Australia known as "Burning Mountain" is claimed to be the world's longest burning fire, at 6,000 years old.

Know More ›

Does FEMA cover wildfires? ›

FEMA coordinates across federal agencies to help state, local, tribal, and territorial partners respond to wildfires nationwide. Through FEMA, fire management assistance is available to state, local, tribal and territorial governments. This assistance helps with mitigation, management, and control of fires.

Learn More ›

What should you avoid during a wildfire? ›

Put out any fires, sparks or embers. Avoid opening any interior doors that feel hot, and stay away from fragile trees and downed power lines.
