Current Situation
Firefighters made significant progress today despite challenging, steep, and difficult-to-access terrain. Crews worked aggressively to strengthen containment lines, increasing overall containment of the fire.
Tomorrow's weather is expected to bring breezy southwest to west winds, with a chance of rain and thunderstorms developing after 1:00 p.m. Relative humidity is forecast to increase into the mid-60% range, which will help moderate fire behavior and aid suppression efforts by adding moisture to the fire area.
