Descriptive text narrative for smoke/dust observed in satelite imagery

SMOKE:
Northwest Territories/Alberta/Nunavut - Several fires in the Northwest Territories and northern Alberta continued to burn this evening, producing moderate-to-heavy density smoke plumes, as well as a regional layer of light-to-heavy density smoke that spread through the Northwest Territories into Nunavut. The smoke also extended southward into northeastern British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, merging with the smoke generated by the individual fires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Manitoba/Saskatchewan - Scattered wildfires in Manitoba and Saskatchewan were observed generating localized moderate-to-heavy density smoke plumes. Smoke from these fires accumulated into a layer of moderate-density smoke that spread across northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan before extending northeast across Nunavut into the Hudson Bay.

Ontario - Multiple wildfires in western Ontario were observed generating individual smoke plumes ranging in various densities extending northeast within the province.

Quebec/Labrador - Multiple wildfires across central Quebec and Labrador were observed producing mostly moderate-to-heavy smoke plumes that generally drifted to the southeast. A layer of light-to-moderate density smoke was also observed dispersing over Quebec and the Hudson Bay into eastern Ontario. Light-to-moderate smoke continued eastward into the Atlantic Ocean and southwestward across Ontario, merging with the smoke from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and western Ontario before reaching the Northeastern United States.

Canada - Smoke from today's fire activity, as well as remnant smoke from previous days, has accumulated into a large layer of light-density smoke that spanned from the Northwest Territories, across Nunavut and the Western provinces, continuing east into Quebec and Labrador before drifting into the Atlantic Ocean.

Southwestern US/Great Plains/Midwestern CONUS - Multiple large wildfires continued to burn across Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado this evening, producing light-to-heavy smoke that traveled towards the northeast. A large area of light-to-moderate density smoke from these wildfires continued across the Central and Northern Plains, eventually shifting direction towards the southeast over the Midwestern United States.

Mexico/Pacific Ocean/Gulf of America/Southeastern US/Atlantic Ocean/ A large layer of light-density smoke, consisting of smoke from today's fire activity and remnant smoke from previous days, was observed across the Mexican Pacific Coast, extending into the Pacific Ocean. Smoke was also observed in the Bay of Campeche, the Yucatan Peninsula, and parts of Central America. It continued across the Gulf of America and into the southeastern US, ultimately reaching the Atlantic Ocean.

BLOWING DUST - Caribbean - Light dust from the Sahara Desert was observed spanning much of the Caribbean Sea this evening.
