On the cams it’s looks like two separate fires very close to each other. They popped up right after some showers so speculatively I’d say they got some lightening in the area.

PNF Wildcad has Mill, Taylor and Whitehawk, although as of this moment, Whitehawk is a smoke check only
We’ll see how this develops for the potential of opening a separate PNF July 2024 Lightning thread

Towering cumulus visible across the crest. What is interesting is that the prediction for Monsoon was a below normal year. So far the SW has been very active as has our region. Will be interesting to see if that trend continues into August when our most problematic period begins.
