SMOKE:
Canada, Central United States and Eastern United States – Wildfire activity in northern British Columbia and the Northwest Territories continued to produce high-density smoke, contributing to a lengthy plume of moderate to high-density remnant smoke extending eastward over Hudson Bay and southward over Ontario and Quebec. Here, continued widespread wildfire activity was producing large volumes of thick smoke moving generally southwestward and southward, adding to the smoke from the western fires and extending as far south as northern Georgia and Alabama. The thickest remnant smoke was observed over the eastern Great Lakes, the Mid-Atlantic region, and New England.
Pacific Northwest and British Columbia – Fires in British Columbia near the U.S./Canadian border and on Vancouver Island were producing generally light smoke moving southward over portions of northern Washington. An additional fire in southwestern Idaho was also producing light smoke partially obscured by clouds, extending into far southeastern Oregon.
SMOKE/AEROSOL: Southern United States, Gulf of Mexico, Mexico, Northwestern Central America and the Pacific Ocean south of southwest Mexico and Central America – Ongoing burning activity continued to contribute to a large amount of smoke mixed with aerosols from pollutants, and was observed over much of western, central, and southern Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala, as well as adjacent coastal Pacific waters, the Bay of Campeche, and the northwestern Caribbean Sea.
