The smoke from #TableRockfire is moving into Henderson and Buncombe County as you can see in the #NOAA #GOES16 satellite data. Expect the air quality to be impacted by the smoke today. #ncwx #wncwx

This past weekend was smoky in Asheville because of the #blackcovefire and #deepwoodsfire in Polk County, NC and #tablerockfire in Pickens County, SC. These fires can be seen from @noaa.gov GOES-16 and NOAA-20 satellites. Stay informed through your local emergency managment! #ncwx #wncwx
