Smoke and fire for Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Sunny skies in much of the U.S. today, with the exception of storms on the eastern seaboard and in the Pacific Northwest. But people must have been cranking up their fireplaces while they ate their turkey and pie, since there was light haze in many places, especially in the Midwest (see MODIS Aqua image on the left), producing moderate air quality conditions (right).

Some wispy smoke is lingering off the coast of Louisiana and a few fires can be seen in the south as well.
