It is awhile away, but tomorrow evening a moderate sundowner wind event is expected over the I-5 corridor. Probably low end wind advisory type event.

Currently have 5 S-2’s and 4 type 1 tankers on the incident
Helicopters 407, 522, 530, 305 and 73U
Trying to get use of 1 or 2 of the QRF helicopters from LA/VNC. Sounds like working through some red tape.
Wanting to use the LACoFd Dip site behind Flying J, if they are able to use QRF ships.

Appears to be a wind shift occurring. It is difficult to gauge from the Digier wx station the exact conditions at the ridge and southern slope, but conditions in Cuddy valley are much different

Drove the Hwy 5 corridor today between 1100 and 1300 today, watching this fire.
First, the fire is up on top a ridge. Yes, in a saddle on the ridge, but high up there. Don’t know the area well, but I would suspect lightning.
Second, little wind on the fire, so burning slowly off the ridge, backing down, for the most part. Guessing little access, so ground troops having difficulty accessing the fire. Not thinking too many engines getting close.
A bit of a problem, but without a good wind, not a long term problem.

Used to work up there. There’s a handful of houses up on that hill and have discovered illegal grows, too. Motorcycles and ATV’s find their way up there. I wouldn’t rule human caused.
There’s a drainage off the north side that funnels down into Pine Mtn Club so it can cause problems with an aligned wind.
