HMS text product reports smoke from Sheep Fires and blowing dust over southern California, Arizona and northwestern Baja. Despite all the cloudiness today, Terra MODIS true color image shows us Sheep fire (top,left) and Aqua shows us more dust over Washington and Oregon (top, right) which seems to be causing higher AOD values (bottom, left).
