Welcome to the June 2005 Satellite image page!
This page contains the images for the month of June 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 may vary. Using GIS products for purposes other than those for which they were intended may yield inaccurate or misleading results.

Tyros Satellite Data
June 29, 2005
National Preparedness Level 2
Weather Discussion: A drier, more stable westerly flow will be developing over the West.Strong high pressure will continue over northern Alaska with a low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska feeding moisture into the southern portions of the state.

June 28, 2005
National Preparedness Level 2
Red Flag Warnings: In effect for Western Utah and Arizona Strip for low humidity and strong winds.
In effect for Central, east-central and southern Nevada for gusty winds, low relative humidity and dry lightning.
Fire Weather Watches: In effect for eastern Utah for low humidity, strong winds and dry lightning.
In effect in the afternoon over the lower elevations of western Colorado for gusty winds, low relative humidity, and dry lightning.
Weather Discussion: Windy weather will continue today in the Great Basin and Arizona due to a combination of a low pressure trough in the Pacific Northwest and a strong ridge over the Southwest. In addition, an upper low swinging through central California and eventually across the Great Basin will bring a threat of dry lightning to portions of the Great Basin and Arizona. In Alaska, hot and dry weather will be on tap as high pressure builds over the area.

National Preparedness Level 2
Red Flag Warning: Monday afternoon across central and east-central Nevada, gusty winds & low relative humidity.
Fire Weather Watch: Monday afternoon across southern Nevada for gusty winds and low relative humidity.
Weather Discussion : A low pressure trough will be entering the Pacific Northwest while high pressure remains over the Southwest. The combination of these two features will bring gusty winds to portions of the Great Basin. In Alaska, high pressure is building over the northern and central interior for warmer and drier weather.

National Preparedness Level 2
Red Flag Warning: Northwest Arizona for strong southwest winds and low humidity.
Weather Discussion: As an upper low approaches the California coast, gusty winds are expected over Nevada, Utah, western Arizona and southern California. Thunderstorm activity will also increase from the Sierras to the Rockies. In Alaska, a very weak upper level ridge will continue over the state with warm temperatures along with afternoon thunderstorms over portions of the interior.

National Preparedness Level 2
Fire Weather Watch: Isolated to scattered dry thunderstorms over west-central Nevada.
Weather Discussion: An upper low is moving slowly toward the California coast, while high pressure remains in control over the Southwest. The approach of this low will bring some dry thunderstorms to the Sierra Mountains and western Nevada, along with increasing winds to the Southern California mountains and deserts. In Alaska, high pressure will gradually build over the area.

June 23, 2005
National Preparedness Level 2
Weather Discussion: An upper trough will be moving across the Canadian border while high pressure remains firmly entrenched over the rest of the West. Drier air will be filtering into Nevada with most of the thunderstorm activity expected from the Southwest states northward into Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. In Alaska, weak high pressure covers the interior except for troughs over the southwest and northeast corners of the state.

Red Flag Warning: In effect for Wednesday for high northeast wind for the southeast Brooks Range and the eastern Upper Yukon Valley in Alaska.
Fire Weather Watches: For Wednesday in eastern, central and southern Nevada for gusty winds and low relative humidity.
Weather Discussion: An upper trough will be moving across the Pacific Northwest while strong high pressure remains across the rest of the West. In Alaska, a weak upper level ridge will cover most of the state except for a disturbance moving through the northeast Interior.

June 16, 2005
National Preparedness Level 1
Weather Discussion: A strong upper low along the West Coast and a high pressure ridge over the Rockies will bring increasing winds and low humidity to portions of the Great Basin and Southwest Areas. Alaska is under an upper level high for more hot and dry weather along with some thunderstorms for most of the state.

National Preparedness Level 1
Weather Discussion: A strong high pressure ridge is building along the Rockies while a low pressure trough settles into the Pacific Northwest. In Alaska, high pressure covers much of the area with some moisture over the central and southern Interior.

Tyros Satellite Data
June 7, 2005
National Preparedness Level 1
Fire Weather Watch: In effect for most of northern and northeastern New Mexico below 8,500 feet for strong winds and low humidity values.
Weather Discussion: A deep trough of low pressure will continue to spin along the Pacific Northwest coast bringing unsettled weather to the northwest and northern Rockies while winds further south over the Great Basin begin to die down under dry and more stable conditions. In Alaska, a weak ridge of high pressure aloft across the interior will limit isolated convection to areas near a surface trough of low pressure stretched across the interior. Low pressure in the eastern Aleutians will bring a southeasterly flow to much of southern Alaska leading to an increase in moisture.

June 6, 2005
National Preparedness Level 1
Fire Weather Watch: In effect below 6,000 feet elevation for Monday afternoon and evening for southern Nevada due to strong southwest winds and low relative humidity. Weather
Discussion: A deep trough of low pressure will slowly move into the Pacific Northwest and Great Basin bringing unsettled weather to the Northwest and Northern Rockies along with dry and windy conditions to parts of the Southwest and southern Great Basin. In Alaska, an area of low pressure over the Gulf of Alaska and another over the Aleutians along with a weak surface trough stretching across the interior will continue to be the focus for unsettled weather.
