Welcome to the JULY 2005 Satellite image page!
This page contains the images for the month of July 2005. To navigate, simply select a day on the calendar to the right and view the images available for that day. Images in the visible band that show weather and smoke have grey text, infrared images that show fires have red text, simulated visible images have gray text, and the text of simulated natural color images is brown.
Descriptions and Weather Outlooks
Descriptions and outlooks taken from the National Fire News and Incident Management Situation Reports.
Viewing Properties
 Infrared images that show intense fire are marked by a flaming bonfire. |
 Infrared images that show the best examples of intense fire activity are marked by a flaming HOT icon. |
 Visible images that show good smoke are marked by a smoke plume. |
 Images that show the best examples of smoke are marked by a larger smoke plume. |
Disclaimer: Many of the fires shown on this webpage have been named using the descriptions of the fires from the daily interagency fire situation reports. Care has been taken to use remote sensing satellites to correctly locate and identify the fires. For a listing of the current fire status and location of fires, see the interagency fire situation report. The USDA Forest Service uses the most current and complete data available. GIS data and product accuracy July vary. Using GIS products for purposes other than those for which they were intended July yield inaccurate or misleading results. The USDA Forest Service reserves the right to correct, update, modify or replace GIS products without notification.

July 13, 2005
National Preparedness Level 2
Fire Weather Watch: For northeast Wyoming and the Black Hills for winds, low relative humidity and hot temperatures.
Weather Discussion: Very hot weather is on tap for much of the West as a strong high is centered over the Great Basin. Moisture is gradually spreading into the Southwest and Great Basin for an increasing chance of thunderstorms. Unsettled weather is expected to continue in Alaska.

Tyros Satellite Data
July 10, 2005
National Preparedness Level 2
Weather Discussion: The cold front which moved through the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies has moved out of the area with high pressure building over much of the West. Hurricane Dennis is expected to make landfall along the coast of the western Florida Panhandle or Alabama today. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are on tap for Alaska as another low pressure system moves across the area.

July 05, 2005
National Preparedness Level 2
Weather Discussion: High pressure will continue over much of the West. A weak upper trough over the Sierras will bring a threat of a few dry thunderstorms to portions of the Great Basin. Wet weather will persist over much of the Alaska interior as low pressure systems cover the state.

July 04, 2005
National Preparedness Level 2
Weather Discussion: It will be a dry and hot 4th of July over most of the west, with typical afternoon winds and low relative humidity. The only chance of wet thunderstorms will be across eastern sections of the Rocky Mountain Area and in the far eastern portion of the Southwest. East central Alaska will see partly cloudy conditions with a slight chance of afternoon wet thunderstorms.

Tyros Satellite Data
July 03, 2005
National Preparedness Level 2
Weather Discussion: A low pressure system which brought an increase in winds to the Great Basin yesterday will move into the northern Plains today. This will result in reduced wind speeds. However, conditions will remain hot and dry with poor nighttime relative humidity recovery over much of the Southwest and Great Basin. In Alaska, low pressure north of the state will continue a slight chance of scattered showers. However, some eastern interior sections of Alaska will experience a slight drop in relative humidity.

National Preparedness Level 2
Red Flag Warning: For Saturday in northwestern Nevada for gusty winds and low relative humidity.
Weather Discussion: A trough moving across the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies will bring windy conditions to portions of the
intermountain West. In Alaska, a low pressure system over the area will bring cooler and wetter weather for the weekend.
