THROUGH 0000Z November 25, 2025
SMOKE: Southeastern CONUS/Northern Gulf of America... An accumulation of light-density smoke, consisting of smoke remnants from previous days’ agricultural burning and light-density smoke plumes produced in the Southeastern United States this evening, was observed over much of the region, extending from Mississippi to the northern Gulf of America and Florida. Southern Florida… Despite moderate cloud cover in southern Florida, agricultural fires south of Lake Okeechobee were observed producing an area of light-density smoke that drifted southwest towards the Gulf of America. AEROSOL/SMOKE: Texas/Mexico/Pacific Ocean... An stagnant plume consisting of light-density aerosols from gas flaring and other urban industrial activity across Mexico, mixed with additional emissions from previous days fires in the region was observed extending along the western Gulf of America from Texas to northeastern Mexico and Bay of Campeche, passing through the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and covering parts of the Pacific Ocean and coastal areas of western Mexico. 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
