Summary
[edit]DescriptionFires in the Great Plains (MODIS 2015-04-21).jpg |
English: Smoke and hotspots from fires in eastern Kansas were spotted from space by NASA's Aqua satellite. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured an image of smoke and fires burning on April 10 at 19:30 UTC (3:30 p.m. EDT).
On April 13, the National Weather Service (NWS) Storm Prediction Center expects "critical fire weather conditions to persist on Monday (April 13) for portions of the western Great Lakes and Northern Plains. This critical fire weather threat is due to a combination of above normal temperatures, gusty west-northwest winds, and low relative humidity. Any fires that start in these areas will quickly spread and become hard to control." |
