@GonzoNick I was aware of the picture not being 'today." It was to be used as a before and after if the sno blowers did not handle the progression.

Mapped last night at 1085 acres, so little increase in size and containment is only 2%. Most heat still showing on the north side of the ridge, in the timber, between Summit and Bear Mountains. Weather will make things interesting as a flood watch is now in effect for Friday morning through Saturday evening as remnants of Kay spin up over southern California. NWS forecast office in San Diego is warning of high winds in all areas around the San Bernardino mountains, but does not include the mountains for some reason. Winds seem likely to impact the Fairview though. Heavy rain is possible over these fires Friday and Saturday, and temps will cool significantly, and stay that way into next week.
Edit: Bands of showers already moving through the area at @0800.

Possibly the reason for the upcoming wind and rain event.
You can zoom in on your chosen fire for conditions.
