Wildfire Smoke - Sunday, September 13, 2020

Smoke from wildfires in the western United States covers much of the western half of the United States. Today a thin band of smoke extended from southwest to northeast Iowa. Cedar Falls, Iowa was on the northern edge of this band that was about 30 miles wide. The photos below tell the story.

Looking south directly into the smoke cloud.

Looking south southwest.

Looking south southeast under the smoke. Near the bottom of this photo a thin line of blue is visible. This is the blue sky near the southern edge of the smoke.

This is looking to the northwest. The right side of the photo is to the north away from the smoke - the sky is blue. The edge of the smoke is visible in the upper left quarter of the photo. From there to the south (as shown in the other photos) the sky was covered with smoke.
