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

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 
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.

My Kid is on that fire and said fire was hang up all over the place it’s a mess. With the weather change we will see what happens today and tomorrow. Been on a few fires in that area running crew. Brush was so thick had to cut windows in it to stack what we were cutting. Not to mention how steep some of that ground is.
