Smoke has been recorded lying over this ground ten times so far. The thickest of it was moderate between 1:10pm and 4:30pm local time. The last of those windows closed 23 hours ago, so what is overhead now is not known.
Where the heat is
No cluster large enough to call a separate front. The heat is in one piece.
Conditions measured 15.9 miles from the fire: 71°F, air at 18% humidity, a 12 mph wind out of the north-west.
How it got here
Two days of record on a day-22 fire
The record here begins at 1:56am on 5 Oct and runs to 3:04am on 14 Oct — 217 hours, 8 readings of heat. The fire is on day 22, so the first 20 days are missing: nothing showed up from above until the fire was large enough and the sky over it clear enough for it to be seen.
