I heard LNU dispatch for a planned need strike team to meet up at Hwy 20 and 101. Would this be the incident? I was thinking preposition, but this also crossed my mind. I didn’t hear an incident name.
Probably headed North to HUU they have several fires up on the Klamath River Hwy 169

Been watching the weather for this fire. The Calvert Peak weather station shows today is hottest and driest of the week, but winds are the lightest. 8/29/2022.
Anyone got suggestions on better/more representative RAWs for this particular area? This one is 15 miles west, but 3,000 feet higher in elevation. Calvert Peak Oregon

Fire reported at 14,940 acres with 1% containment.
Today is another day of critical weather- The persistent hot and dry conditions will continue again today with light and variable winds this morning becoming north-northwest this afternoon. The smoke remains a key player in the overall conditions. Clearing smoke this afternoon means more instability will build and critical fire weather conditions can be expected between 1500 - 1900 PDT. Near critical fire weather conditions will remain on Friday as a dry cold front passes the area in the afternoon, bringing gusty NW winds. After the front passes through, temperatures and humidity will moderate Friday night into Saturday morning.
Could be a busy day on the line today
