Repeat of yesterdays weather, valley had cleared out of smoke, nice column development, (east side of Santa Ana River drainage, up to SART on ridge between Seven Oaks dam & Morton peak) then collapse and now the valley is smoked out again.

Seems like pretty good outflow from t-storms over the area: Red numbers are gusts

Looks like the push behind the dam has passed Morton Peak and gone further east, I dont recall any fire in that drainage till it gets to Mountain Home Village area

3 additional Charlies, 2 Golf, 3 WTs requested to Hwy 38. Its backing down to challenge 38 in a narrow portion and “has a good chance it will jump”. Requesting to shut down Hwy 38.

Ridge break down with onshore winds Tuesday/Wednesday. The NWS uses NBM for it’s wind gusts so localized winds could be stronger than that.

My sons ST was in Running Springs today and he said the fire just skunked around and watching the Running Springs camera today confirmed what he had said.

I highly doubt resources are being released unless significant rainfall took place.

Even if the fire barely moved and rain dampered things down the sheer amount of open line and potential activity increasing again suggests a lengthy assignment. Released for the evening sure, rest up you are needed back out tomorrow :sweat_smile:

Smelled like rain in Hanford although it was not present.

Activity in the state went from days off- to forcey bear- to umbrella- to … sorry honey I’ll probably be back in 2-3 weeks, probably.
