A location-based tool that estimates which wildfire may have sent smoke to you.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-03 issue.
For
People seeing wildfire haze who want a likely source
Worth noticing
Its description says smoke traveling 600 miles rarely moves at ground level, so it traces winds at three heights.

Field notes

The page says a lookup uses the visitor’s location without storing it, and compares three-height back-trajectories with NOAA hand-traced satellite smoke plumes and modeled PM2.5. It also names NOAA, NIFC, NASA, and Open-Meteo as public data sources, and warns that estimates may be incomplete or delayed; it explicitly says not to use them for evacuation, health, or safety decisions.
