CA-LPF-Lake?

Looks like 641 is heading north, I was away for a bit, I am assuming they were on a mapping mission and a new perimeter should be posted soon.

They do process on board but do require cell coverage to transmit so it might be a bit, they may wait till they land to transmit.

Welcome to California where people don’t really think 3425 ft counts as an actual mountain. :smiley:

rH recoveries tonight will depend a lot on where your at. The gradient may go from 100% to 10% within a few hundred feet of altitude and which side of a ridge you are on. Probably should not expect good rH overnight recoveries above 1500 ft.

Team 13 at Inbriefing. I would guess to takeover fire at 0600 tomorrow.

Same old same old (grass, refugio, santa ynez peak) but grouped as a set. For me, it makes it simpler to check in on the fire with cam tile sets.

It depends on the availability of the aircraft equipped for this task. Right now it is shared by 7 other fires.

Inversion layer over the Santa Ynez Valley leading to poor visibility from most of the wildfire cameras this morning, except for Santa Ynez Peak at 4200+ feet. Column already capped out and it looks angry for today. Screenshot from the Alert Wildfire Santa Ynez Peak location, converted to black and white for contrast. Approx. 0831

Capping out this early is not good.

I know there are critics of the Caltopo. Topographic Mapped Heat signatures are 3 hours ago. But with the smoke out conditions it helps to include this tool.
