DESCRIPTIVE TEXT NARRATIVE FOR SMOKE/DUST OBSERVED IN SATELLITE IMAGERY
THROUGH 0000Z November 10, 2025
SMOKE: Lower Mississippi Valley/Southeastern U.S./Gulf of America/Atlantic Ocean... A large area of remnant light-density smoke from previous days’ agricultural fires was observed this evening drifting south of the Lower Mississippi Valley as it extends from the Gulf of America eastward across the Southeastern United States, and along the coast of Georgia and the Carolinas, ultimately drifting into the Atlantic Ocean. Louisiana… Agricultural fires in southern Louisiana were observed this evening producing individual, light-to-moderate density smoke plumes moving southward, merging with the area of remnant light-density smoke extending eastward from the Gulf of America. Southern Florida... Agricultural fires south of Lake Okeechobee were observed producing an area of light-density smoke drifting northeast into the Atlantic Ocean. New Mexico... The fires located within the Cibola National Forest remained active this evening, producing light-density smoke drifting to the east. An additional wildfire in east-central New Mexico was observed producing light-density smoke that drifted towards the west and east. Arizona... Fires within the Sitgreaves National Forest and the Fort Apache Reservation remained active this evening, producing light-density smoke moving to the west and southwest. An additional wildfire in northwestern Arizona was seen producing a light-density smoke plume drifting west across the Hualapai Indian Reservation. AEROSOL/SMOKE: Mexico/Gulf of America/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 dispersing into the Pacific Ocean off the southern and western coastline of Mexico, the Bay of Campeche, and the western Gulf of America. GL 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
