Are those spots or holdovers from the lightning?

Looks to be pretty close to the black there, slop on the Right Flank near the heel would be my guess

Just got back from a run to Reno and the smoke seems to have drifted significantly to the west. No thunderstorms in Reno yet, so maybe caught a lucky break (outflow winds - I watched The Lookout breakdown!)

Morning update from Plumas National Forest:
Mill fire…
Aggressive 24-hour suppression activities continued, with crews focusing on building dozer and handline to protect structures and critical power lines. Night-capable helicopters were utilized overnight to help cool spot fires. As of this morning, much of the fire has line around it. However, these lines need considerable improvement and work before the fire will be considered contained. Winds are anticipated to test lines today, and evacuations are expected to be held through the day.

No pyrocumulus visible so far today from Quincy and the cameras show the fire much calmer than the previous two days. Don’t you all think things are looking better?

Definitely looking better. We need continued low to no wind and then things will get much more secure.

It’s actually pretty windy right now, at least according to the Nervino AWOS.
