THROUGH 1500Z November 01, 2025
SMOKE: Southern Florida... Multiple agricultural fires were actively burning this morning across the sugarcane fields located to the south of Lake Okeechobee with light density smoke dispersing eastward through Palm Beach County. Southeastern Texas/Southwestern Louisiana... A light density plume consisting of remnant smoke from previous day agricultural fires in the southern states was observed along the Gulf coast of southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana. Arizona... The fire that started yesterday in Coconino County near Kaibab National Forest continued to release light smoke this morning, which was seen dispersing towards the west. AEROSOL/SMOKE: Mexico/Pacific Ocean… An area of light-density smoke, consisting primarily of aerosols from gas flaring and other urban/industrial activity across Mexico, mixed with additional emissions from scattered fire activity in the region, was observed covering parts of the southern Gulf of America and Bay of Campeche, passing through central Mexico and extending over the Pacific ocean from the coast of Chiapas to Jalisco, into the Gulf of California. WS THIS TEXT PRODUCT IS PRIMARILY INTENDED TO DESCRIBE SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF SMOKE ASSOCIATED WITH ACTIVE FIRES AND SMOKE WHICH HAS BECOME DETACHED FROM THE FIRES AND DRIFTED SOME DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE SOURCE FIRE, TYPICALLY OVER THE COURSE OF ONE OR MORE DAYS. AREAS OF BLOWING DUST ARE ALSO DESCRIBED. USERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO VIEW A GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF THESE AND OTHER PLUMES WHICH ARE LESS EXTENSIVE AND STILL ATTACHED TO THE SOURCE FIRE IN VARIOUS GRAPHIC FORMATS ON OUR WEB SITE: JPEG:http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/data/land/fire/currenthms.jpg Smoke data: https://satepsanone.nesdis.noaa.gov/pub/FIRE/web/HMS/Smoke_Polygons Fire data: https://satepsanone.nesdis.noaa.gov/pub/FIRE/web/HMS/Fire_Points ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS REGARDING THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE SENT TO: SSDFireTeam@noaa.gov
