Hard to say for sure this early, but peering through the early light in the cams she appears to still be awake. Could make for a long day. Hopefully the air power is up early to smash it.

AA asked for 4 multi-engine type 3 and a LAT early up 0800 over the fire before he flew home last night. In addition, he requested back all of the helos from yesterday and added a helco. So there should be a good air show, so long as they arenā€™t smoked out by the inversionā€¦ā€¦. Fingers crossed they can go to work this morning.

Doubtful, aircraft wonā€™t be any good this morning with thick inversion high temps low RH if they did not hook it last night you are looking at a multi day fire for sure. This will be a type I fire if they canā€™t stop it before noon. Just my opinion

Agreed the inversion will be problematic at best. Iā€™d say in an hour or two we will have a better idea of what the day holds.

After 5 years in LNU, I completely stopped trying to guess.

Lots of microclimates and things that can happen.

Smartest assumption Iā€™ve seen this morning

Well there were only 3 guesses this morning so thereā€™s a 33% chance for being right. Although looking at the cameras this morning Iā€™d say my assumption is pretty close to 35% accurate.
