THROUGH 2345Z February 3, 2006
Texas and New Mexico: Fires burning in Webb and Wharton counties, Texas, generated thin smoke plumes that moved to the south while a fire earlier in the afternoon close to the Matagorda-Brazoria border produced a smoke plume that moved towards the east. A fairly broad area of blowing dust extended from Hildago and Starr Counties, Texas, southward into Mexico for over 100 nmi. Smoke was moving towards the east southeast from a blaze in Eddy County, New Mexico.
