THROUGH 2330Z June 15, 2025

SMOKE:
Alaska/Pacific Ocean/Canada/Northern and Central United States/Atlantic
Ocean...
Wildfire activity across northeastern British Columbia, southwestern
Northwest Territories, northwestern Alberta, and western Ontario continued
to generate light  to moderate density smoke, which spread from Alaska,
northeastern British Columbia, and Yukon to Quebec and into the North
Atlantic Ocean.

AEROSOL/SMOKE:
Mexico/Gulf of America...
Light smoke and aerosols were observed along the western coastline of
Mexico and the Bay of Campeche.

THIS TEXT PRODUCT IS PRIMARILY INTENDED TO DESCRIBE SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF
SMOKE ASSOCIATED WITH ACTIVE FIRES AND SMOKE WHICH HAS BECOME DETACHED
FROM THE FIRES AND DRIFTED SOME DISTANCE AWAY FROM THE SOURCE FIRE,
TYPICALLY OVER THE COURSE OF ONE OR MORE DAYS. AREAS OF BLOWING DUST ARE
ALSO DESCRIBED. USERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO VIEW A GRAPHIC DEPICTION OF THESE
AND OTHER PLUMES WHICH ARE LESS EXTENSIVE AND STILL ATTACHED TO THE SOURCE
FIRE IN VARIOUS GRAPHIC FORMATS ON OUR WEB SITE:

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.
