Texas: Numerous fires have popped up during the course of the afternoon and evening hours throughout much of the state. The most activity is along the southeastern coastline of Texas stretching from Port Arthur to Corpus Christi. In Matagorda County, a moderate smoke plume is moving towards the southeast and over the Gulf of Mexico. In Jefferson, Galveston, and Goliad Counties, light smoke plumes extending 50-100 miles from their sources are also moving southeast over the Gulf of Mexico. Other smaller, lighter smoke plumes are sporadic across Texas, with one cluster of fires in northern Texas, and another cluster in the south-central portion of the state. EVANS
