Also, some downwind smoke investigations.
Tanker 911 is in the air.
T76 and T78 north of Bakersfield. Add T79, T80 Morgan Hill south bound.
Believe I heard B71 as well.
Tanker 911 is currently east of Stockton.
Mods, can we change this to CA- SBC- Plant 2023.
Thanks
Tanker 911 is currently just south of Stockton and still heading north.
Looking hot on the GOES-rgb at the moment. Southerly flow this afternoon but models want to switch winds to northeast this evening pushing it away from 166 towards the LP Forest. Roughly in the vicinity of Spanish Ranch fatality fire from 1979. (2006 Perkins fire as well)
TNK911 just landed at MCC
View from the other side of the Sierra Madre Mountains in Santa Ynez. Pretty good cumulonimbus build up beyond the smoke to the east.
Well add this to the things I thought! I’d never see in my lifetime in SoCal. Large veg fire while under tropical storm warnings. WTF is happening
Hopefully it does not establish in LPF because there is a very sharp precipitation gradient between Ventura county and here when the storm gets there, and the winds will push out of the NE.
Sorry if my coherency is lacking, barely any sleep MOD please move this post to the Plant fire thread
Spot weather forecast is on order. Casually, looks like some thunderstorm activity on a northwest-northeast line, roughly on Taft. But I’d be ready for gusty and variable winds whether they get precip on the fire, or not. Not expecting sustained rain until late tomorrow afternoon, coming from the east, then it’s probably going to rain pretty good tomorrow night.
