Fire heading towards and probably bumping Hwy 89:
Caltopo seems to be updating this very quickly (normally a 3hr refresh)

I can confirm that tbe fire has spotted across 89 and is burning south of Apache. Got pictures from my security cameras.
Spot fire showing on the heavenly 2 cam appears about the 3 am time frame. Stay safe today folks.

Liberty Power has a WX station east of the airport on their transmission line in the northern half of Sec 14. (Northwest “base” of Trimmer Mtn, at 6500ft) Has a 10min resolution like PGE stations.
Currently giving good indicator of conditions on the left flank of the GOES heat signature there pushing towards NV. Currently at 76F, I’m sure it’ll be a good canary to tell if flames reach that site.
Here is a 4:45pm IR map of the fire from FIRIS project.
No fire spread visible in the flats. The slopover northeasst of Kyburz wasn’t very noticable at that time. No major spots showing north of Ralston Peak, either.

False-color long-wave IR images from today’s Sentinel pass at 12pm. With frequent IR flights, these aren’t really useful for perimeter updates, but they do provide a qualitative view unburned areas and fire activity: CalTopo - Backcountry Mapping Evolved.

Latest IR from 11 this morning show relatively little increase in acreage from prev. If I am intepreting it correct 
they have a good amount of some type of line in on the north side as there shows no spread in more than 2/3 (swag) of the line. Most of the increase is on the east and wrapping around on the south in SLT and in the Kirkwood area. And again, those look to be relatively small.
Also looked like the pockets SE of White Hall and SE of Kyburz burned out.
Curious if anyone who has eyes on it could describe what they’re seeing in SLT, cameras are too smoky.
