Moderate to Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups in several areas
Busy day for PM measurements across the country.
Starting in the east, the front moving east along the I-95 corridor has high PM readings from North Carolina through the New England State. In Florida, the SSD fire map shows plumes in Florida and I've picked out one plume north of West Palm Beach.

In the mountain states, Utah is again hazy and it is forecast to stay that way for the next several days. While it is hard to see haze from space against the snow covered surface, the Wendover web cam clearly shows the problem.

And finally in the west, the San Joaquin Valley is clearing out a bit but there is a noticeable plume flowing out from the Golden Gate and turning north. The IDEA trajectory package shows where this plume will be going (north).
