I don't know what those red markers are on the image but the one by the Huachucas is on the West Range of Forth Huachuca near the UAV Runway.

The red markers are more than likely forest fires that have been flagged by an algorithm on that satellite.

They are doing prescribed burns on Fort Huachuca right now so that would be the fire they are noting there.

All I can say is "WOW!" :eek: WHat a GREAT shot!!!! Yes indeedy.......now you see why the drought situation has been taken down a few notches......we were at Exceptional conditions, as of yesterday, we are not a moderate 8-) AND........it's NOT over, we've had a break for a few days, actually saw the SUN BUT.......it's short lived, the high pressure is breaking down and the WHOLE scenario is changing once again :eek: We've got 2-3 more systems projected to hit over the weekend and into next week!!!

Dennis


BTW.....THANKS for some GREAT sat. images!

BTW....the snowpack on the peak (Mt. Baldy) near the New Mexico Border, is an UNBELIEVABLE 138" and like I said, there's a TON more snow to COME!
