North Carolina: In Tyrrell and Washington Counties, moderate to heavy dense smoke is moving off to the east with the heaviest smoke moving over Dare and Hyde Counties. Smoke becomes lighter as it moves offshore, but also expands north; as far north as Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and some 600 miles to the east of the source over the Atlantic Ocean. Colorado: In Las Animas County, a moderately dense smoke plume is currently moving to the south-southwest and extends out some 50 miles from the source. California: In Monterey County, a heavy smoke plume is currently moving to the south over the Pacific Ocean. However, some lighter smoke is making its way into extreme northern San Luis Obispo County. Saskatchewan, Canada: Several fires are producing light to moderately dense smoke over the northern province. Most of these plumes are moving off to the north.
