A bunch of fires in northern Mexico near northeastern of the Gulf of
California are burning and producing moderately dense to locally dense
plumes of smoke that are moving southeastward.

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.
