This demonstrates the interesting wind patterns that are present over the area. Of course once the sun goes down it will be entirely different with a new set of issues. From “downtown” Oakhurst.

The fire stayed very active last night and has moved quite a bit closer to Rd 800. Access is difficult and today is going to be very challenging… Scanner traffic summary. getting ready for firing ops along Rd 800. https://twitter.com/TrishasWCFireWx/status/1414585236176871425/photo/1

Last night looking at the Deadwood cam, you could see two glows from this fire. This morning from the same cam you could see two boils in the smoke column. Hope they can get some line built on RD 800 and hold it. Long tough hot day ahead for the troops. Stay Safe!!!

apx8000, if you are speaking about Metcalf gap between Miami and Crooks Mountains, unless it has done a 180, it should not be moving in that direction with any intensity. It has been running parallel to Cook Mountain/Potter Ridge towards the south east, away from the Nipinnawasee and Metcalf Gap area. This morning it looks like we are seeing some diurnal wind push as the valley heats up.
