THROUGH 1500Z October 25, 2026

SMOKE:
Southeastern U.S.…
Multiple fires across the Southeastern U.S. were active this morning. The
Bee Haven (2) fire in Hamilton County, Florida produced light-to-moderate
density smoke that moved southwestward into the Gulf of America. A larger
area of light-density smoke covered much of the southeastern states,
which may have included remnant smoke from agricultural fires in the
region yesterday.

Mexico…
A layer of light-to-moderate density smoke was observed along the western
coast of Mexico and drifting southwestward into the Pacific Ocean.

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

Unless otherwise indicated:

Areas of smoke are analyzed using GOES-EAST and GOES-WEST Visible satellite imagery.

Only a general description of areas of smoke or significant smoke plumes will be analyzed.

A quantitative assessment of the density/amount of particulate or the vertical distribution is not included.

Widespread cloudiness may prevent the detection of smoke even from significant fires.
