Smoke and Hazy Skies Over Eastern Mississippi and Western Alabama:


Afternoon Visible Satellite Image



19Z Surface Wind Contours
(Note the winds are flowing from South Georgia and North Florida across South Alabama and into Southeast, Eastern Mississippi and Western Alabama.)

* Skies are very hazy and smoky over the Twin States this afternoon as you may notice if you are out and about today.

* The Mississippi Forestry Commission reports no fires in the area. The smoky and hazy skies are coming from the fires over Southern Georgia, Northern Florida, and a fire in the Florida Panhandle just across the Perdido River from Baldwin County, Alabama in Escambia County Florida... not to far from Pensacola. Winds out of the southeast this afternoon are pulling the hazy and smoke into Eastern Mississippi and Western Alabama... so if you have respiratory issues you may want to remain inside this afternoon.

* Just in from the Newscenter 11 newsroom... The City of Meridian has been placed once again under a burn ban. There is more on the story on our news section of our website at www.wtok.com
