The unseasonably hot and dry weather in Central Washington continues to spur extreme fire behavior. South facing slopes are particularly volatile as fuels dry through the day and relative humidity continues to be low. The Wenatchee Complex and Table Mountain Complex fires burning in the Wenatchee National Forest are threatening to merge as fire fighting personnel from all over the continental U.S., Alaska and Canada continue to manage these blazes. This image was taken by the NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP satellite from 2000Z through 2010Z on September 19, 2012.
Polar-orbiting satellites track the subtle changes in the environment that can trigger potentially deadly weather conditions, from tornadoes to tropical storms. The next generation satellites such as NASA/NOAA Suomi NPP and the future Joint Polar Satellite System will provide critical data to weather models and forecasters to help maintain the accuracy and reliability of today's weather forecasts and outlooks. Imagery and data from Suomi NPP is still undergoing quality assurance processes and are not yet operational products.
