Did that thing start a big South push from the heal in the last 15 minutes?

It was bound to happen that normal onshore breeze took over the strong high pressure east wind. Watch out for contiune battling of winds.

Photographed around the same time last evening, at a lookout where I could also see the Radford Fire. Was pretty wild to see such fire behavior in the evening in absence of a wind event from 30 air miles away. Sitting above 6k feet skips light pollution that normally makes these fires hard to see from afar in the flatland.

Looks like its trying to work itself south into Bautista Canyon, that fuel bed to Red Mountain is dense and without any breaks.

Smoke starting to make its way up canyon towards the Idylwild cam, sign that surface winds are beginning to push out of the WNW

Seeing some of the locals up on Red Mountain shooting videos and its making a steady push South. That fuel bed all the up to Red Mountain is 10 foot chamis and manzanita and nothing to stop it.

The time lapse looking south has the Radford in the foreground and the Fairview in the distance both capping out at once. Pretty amazing
