The fire is now spotting 1 mile ahead. IC will take any closest resource for structure protection. Not many type 3’s available in the area.

They were building up large orders of immediate need resources, with the closest being out of Shasta County to head into Lakehead should this occur. They are now starting the Shasta County resources…
WX PGE Cascade in Lakehead shows favorable winds so far… SSW7G16
but upper level WX above Lakehead on Sugarloaf explains the ember cast…dang it.

Last night’s MODIS and VIIRS combined, with 2018 Hirz (green) and 2018 Delta (blue) footprints. Both burns have plenty of dead fuel bed and stands, slash, new brush etc.
Looking north, slightly east
Looking ESE, over Sugarloaf Mtn (radio site at bottom center of pic)

Winds have kicked up considerably in the past hour out of the south, which has also cleared the Sugarloaf camera view.
WX stations also concur
WX PGE Cascade (Lakehead proper) 91F 28RH S9G14
WX PGE Sugarloaf (above Lakehead and higher than fire) went from casual east to heavier ESE.
WX PGE Whiskeytown (which is really Gray Rocks at the bottom of the Lake,) is a good indicator of the influence coming off the valley floor and into the McCloud and Sacramento Arms of the lake.
