...REMARKS...
Prior forecasts have reflected weather conditions on the fire. For
analysis we use Dry Fork RAWS for historic weather. Fire holding
operation through 08/20 will focus in Spronks Creek, north and
northeast of Crosho Lake. The precipitation and humidity Fri into Sat
has moderated fire behavior. We are seeking to monitor a transition
to burning conditions that may begin on Monday August 18 and continue
through August 20. Fuels and indices appear to be returning to record
dry conditions. No on-site weather inputs at present but digital
point forecast have proven accurate.
