The fire is heating up the monsoonal moisture already in the air, creating a spectacular column, all within the first hour of burning.
Quickly came up on the Shortwave IR and Particle Size sensors on GOES16. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/exper/?parms=local-N_California-07-200-0-25-1&checked=map&colorbars=
