INTEX: Smoke Extends all the way into the South
MODIS RGB images sourced from UW show smoke from the Alaska/Canada fires extending all the way into the South. Wow, this stuff got really far! It was also hazy and cloudy in Maryland today.

IDEA AOD Images clearly point out the smoke.

The image below on the left is the NOAA NESDIS GASP Map, which shows the AOD for the entire U.S. The large band of smoke is shown extending all the way into the South. Look at the NOAA NESDIS GASP loop to see the progression of the smoke throughout the day. The second image on the right is the UMBC developed GASP AOD animation, hazy and cloudy conditions are obvious.

EPA AIRNow shows mostly moderate conditions around the nation. A location in California still has very unhealthy (purple dot) AQI due to fires.
