Ran down the 73 freeway at lunch and took a quick phone image from the toll plaza in Newport Coast looking south, small header visible with majority of smoke blowing lightly offshore. Temp 75, RH 27%.

I thought it was firing but I think it just split around a section because there was good sized area of “green” that had fire on both sides.

Dropped into the top of Talega/San Clemente last night to observe the fire, and a solid inversion developed by about 2130 influenced by slight humidity recovery. Pockets of fire were moderately active (interesting to see the micro climate influence fire behavior) but mostly just smoky conditions.

Interestingly, appears to be the largest wildfire by acres burned in the SoCal metro area this year (so far). Counting York Fire as outside the metro.
