Smoke Spotted In San Diego Coming From 2 Fires In Mexico

SAN DIEGO, CA – Smoke visible in San Diego is coming from two fires in Mexico, Cal Fire confirmed.

"The fire is well south of the border with no threat at this time," Cal Fire officials said. "Cal Fire will continue to monitor the situation."

Smoke has been spotted in parts of San Diego County. Several Twitter users posted photos and video of the smoke – one from as far away as Carlsbad.

Residents should stay alert as fire weather conditions are expected to return to some parts of the county later this week.

Just days after a red flag warning expired for the county, the National Weather Service on Tuesday issued a fire weather watch for parts of the San Diego region.

The fire weather watch will be in effect from midnight Thursday through 10 a.m. Friday for the county's inland valleys and mountains, according to the National Weather Service.

The Lilac Fire, now 92 percent contained, scorched 4,100 acres, destroyed 157 structures and damaged 64 others in San Diego's North County while the region was under a red flag warning last week. The warning expired Sunday night.
