Mexican Isthmus into the Ozarks…
An area of mixed active smoke emissions and remnant smoke from the
last couple days extends from the Mexican isthmus between the Bay of
Campeche and the Gulf of Tehuantepec northward into Arkansas. Smoke from
fires across eastern Mexico and the areas along the shores of the Gulf
of Mexico and the Bay of Campeche are contributing to the layer. The
large area of smoke is generally moving northward around high pressure in
the Gulf of Mexico and ahead of a front across the southern Plains. The
thickest smoke is coming off the mountains of Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas
and moving northeast.
Oklahoma…
A dozen or so smoke-producing fires were noted across Okahoma this
afternoon. The smoke, mainly light in nature, was moving south behind
the aforementioned front across the southern Plains.
Central Mexico…
Numerous light to moderate density smoke plumes were seen across all
of central Mexico. These were moving in various directions depending
on exact location, with local mountain terrain flow likely dominating
observed motion.
