Louisiana/Texas: A fire along the coast in Vermilion County produced a moderately dense plume that moved slowly north and then northeast. Early in the day residual moderately dense smoke from this blaze was observed extending westward to near the Texas coast. Residual light smoke believed to be from a fire along the coast in St. Mary County was tracked westward across the northwest Gulf of Mexico during the day. By nightfall the northern boundary of this smoke plume was approaching the extreme northeastern coast of Texas.
