A light mass of smoke was observed dispersing across northern Washington and into Oregon. The smoke is suspected to have originated from prescribed fires and wildfires. California... Light to moderate plumes of smoke were observed emanating from northern California. Originating from suspected prescribed fires and wildfires, the smoke was seen drifting south into the Central Valley. AEROSOL/SMOKE: Central and Southern Mexico / Gulf of America / Central Texas / Pacific Ocean... An area of light to moderate density smoke and aerosols—attributed to widespread seasonal fire activity, volcanic emissions, and industrial sources throughout Central and Southern Mexico—was observed over Central and Southern Mexico and the Pacific Ocean off Mexico’s southern coastline. The combination of smoke and aerosols was observed blowing north across the western Gulf of America through Central Texas to the Texas Panhandle. Moderate density smoke was observed over Southern Mexico and extending south into the Pacific Ocean.
