Current Situation

Situation Summary

Ample moisture over the fire led to another night of excellent relative humidity recoveries. Winds were mostly variable and light overnight.  A few afternoon cumulus clouds will be possible on Tuesday. A gradual warming and drying trend.  Smoldering areas will increase as the cloud covers exits and heat returns to the area.  Stump holes and root wads will still retain significant heat and produce smoke throughout the period. No fire movement is expected.
