A few thunderstorms are possible along the Sierra high country tomorrow afternoon. Small hail and wind gusts near 40 miles per hour are associated with strong thunderstorms. In addition to dangerous cloud to ground lightning strikes, any thunderstorm can produce intense rainfall rates, leading to localized flooding. Thunderstorms are not expected over the Oak Fire, however winds can become gusty and erratic near thunderstorms.

Helco activities all morning (and into the afternoon) have been drops in Div. K and J. A mobile retardant base has been moved in closer to the lines to aid the penetration of the water into the fuels.
AA patrolled the fire this morning. Nothing critical to report. Back on the ground at air base.

The Oak Fire is 19,156 acres and 39% contained.
Also there’s a contingency map on the server today. Hadn’t seen it before. It also has the sections for those of us listening to the radio traffic. I can’t post the jpeg I made here because it’s too big.
