I’ve been finding the wind rose tools from Desert Research Institute to be really useful.
They allow you to view historic RAWS winds for a given time period and time of day.
If you use this map to find a RAWS station, you can Google (e.g. Ben Bolt RAWS) the RAWS, and find the data archive on the DRI website. Wind Rose Graph is one of the options on the page.
For this fire - here is the wind rose for foothills west of Placerville for July, since 1990, between 4 and 8pm.

Just looked at the Ben Bolt RAWS data—114 degrees with 10% humidity. I feel for those crews.

Thanks for the map. Do you know if those evacuation orders are still in effect? My spiritual guru lives behind the head.
