Updates Aug. 23-26 08-27-2024
Updated On: - 08/26/2024 / 20:57
Updates as of 10 a.m. Aug. 26: - Temperatures dipped down to 45 degrees near the fire last night which caused RH levels to go up. The cool moist air has settled in the valley; however, the fire is currently located on the mid slope where the air is a little warmer and drier which continues to support fire activity with some visible torching this morning. With the lack of strong winds today the smoke will linger.- A cold front will arrive tomorrow causing winds to gust 25 to 35 mph.
