1996 Aug 30 09:02 UT

This image was aquired by NOAA 14 at 09:02 UT over the western U.S. This was a night pass with partly clear conditions.
Map of the pass
Channel 3 view of the data Black areas are clouds.


This pass does not cover the west coast. Nevada is on the edge of the pass and does not show much detail. The Wyoming grass and brush fires are not visible even though the clouds have moved out of that area. Utah shows very little activity.


Southern Idaho

The fire in southern Idaho is still apparent. The fire areas have moved from the channel 3 view from last night. The small towns of Carey, Arco, and Aberdeen are labeled on the Hot Spot Map for reference. The hot spot near Aberdeen has been visible for some time in the night time views and is probably not a fire.

A new hot spot is visible at the top center of this image. It was barely detectable on last night's channel 3 image.
