A fire was detected over southeast Starr County with a light smoke plume
moving south-southeast extending 40 miles into northern Mexico. Along

moving south-south east, and another light smoke plume was detected over

California:
Blowing dust was observed moving east across the Southern Mojave Desert
near the San Bernardino mountains and nearly reaching the Arizona border
by sunset. Blowing dust was also seen moving south from eastern Santa
Barbara County moving over the Channel Islands in the Pacific Ocean.

Numerous fires were observed in northwest Sonora State, just south of
Yuma and Pima Counties in Arizona.  The smoke was mainly moving north
and some smoke from these fires has moved into southwest Yuma County.

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.
