That’s the Thermalito Diversion Pool/Feather River, below Oroville Dam, not Lake Oroville, in the camera view.

Yeah, sorry about that. Clarification: It jumped the much-smaller reservoir to the lake’s west. There also appears to be a windshift happening pushing the parallel firelines eastward toward the lake.

FIRIS perimeter at 12:08PST.
Spread on north side of river up until now has mainly been in grass/blue oak woodland. Spot on other side of river is on the top of the hill in live oak/gray pine woodland. Both fires are somewhat sheltered from the northwest winds.

Has it burned around to the Oregon Gulch Rd area, or jumped the Diversion Pool again? Looks like its running pretty good there.

For now, the fire on south of river is running parallel to the most developed areas, luckily.

Fire looks like it is close to Oro Dam Blvd by now - WAG perimeter in red.
Kind of a bad setup for winds forecast for tonight, with the fire continuing to push east thru sunset with transition toward more of a northerly flow overnight that could push the fire more toward developed areas. Also, the overnight downslope winds from Feather River watershed, above, could contribute to problems on the southern flanks early tomorrow morning.
