Some forecast thoughts regarding the Colorado Fire. The strongest offshore (northeast) winds have peaked and expected to ease after midnight through sunrise. Humidity should trend higher by 4-6 am. Need to be on the watchout for some light southerly winds early Saturday morning
Ventura County Type-3 Strike team toned out enroute for the incident
Good morning, anybody have an improved map of the incident?
USDA FS N498DF - flight radar 24
@1432 I would guess that FIRIS will take a pass at it this morning or maybe Courtney or probably both for some more refined maps. The Fireguard data is from a satellite based sensor so its geospatial resolution is not as tight as we would get off an aircraft.
