Fire map guy not even trying anymore.
Today:
Higher relative humidity recoveries in the lower elevations have moderated fire behavior. Smoldering and creeping with little perimeter movement on the west side. Some surface spread on the East side in heavier fuel concentrations to where recoveries are reduced. Overall lower fire spread in lower elevations, while higher elevations may see a little increase in activity.

24 hours:
Drying trend - Low to Moderate fire behavior with surface spread, backing, flanking. Isolated torching where wetting rain was not received. Smoldering and creeping with little perimeter movement on the west side. Some surface spread on the East side in heavier fuel concentrations to where recoveries are reduced. Overall lower fire spread in lower elevations, while higher elevations may see a little increase in activity.

48 hours:
Moderate to active fire behavior are expected due to drying winds. Surface spread, backing, flanking. Isolated torching where wetting rain was not received from 9/7/2015.

72 hours:
Drying winds. Moderate to Active fire behavior. Surface spread, backing, flanking. Torching where wetting rain not received on Sep 7. Group torching and spotting possible when conditions have dried out.

Anticipated after 72 hours:
Drying winds. Moderate to Active fire behavior. Surface spread, backing, flanking. Torching where wetting rain not received on Sep 7. Group torching and spotting possible when conditions have dried out.
ArcGIS hotspots gone.

I don't know if they're just holding their breaths that the rain fixed the main problems or out furiously fortifying the southwest quadrant against crown runs when things dry out down here.


pipe up any time....
