Heads up. Wind change here in Phoenix from the SE. and cleaned out most of the smoke from the fire. The smoke drift is heading to the N/NW now. Hopefully the fire is far enough west from us not to be impacted.

@ajohansson - Thanks much. Very cool and helpful.

27,319 acres. 30% contained. SB County side, Oak Glen still under an evac order. Other areas like Forest Falls under a warning. Riverside Co side evacs lifted.
Temps are down and the marine layer is moved all the way into the area -rare for this time of year this far inland.
