Joining us shortly with them more on these said conditions that firefighters are having to face hopefully they will be improving sometime soon with weather and rain in the forecast yeah keeping our fingers crossed wed like to see a significant rain event unfortunately. This doesnt look like its going to be big enough to end wildfire season. So. Firefighters working hard to contain the fire right now theyve had some favorable weather west southwesterly wind. Thats a very moist. Wind and has been really really strong gusts this afternoon 1012 Miles Per Hour right now this is where we sit looking 4 miles an hour same lena 9 and po valley at 2 in soda springs, you get the idea, fairly light winds out there right now and out of a direction thats favorable to bring some much higher moisture rates now theres some concern were going to see a front come through bring with it a chance some rain maybe a quarter of an inch thats really not enough. Then the fire season would like to get upwards of an inch or so then we can start to really tone down the fire season but after that front moves through were going to see some strong northerly winds develop again.

But its fairly shallow only coming in about a 1000 feet so some of the fires are burning upwards of 2000 feet of that moisture not mixing up those higher levels as well so well keep our fingers crossed on that one and the fire danger and certainly some hotter temperatures in of these numbers going to be coming down the next couple of days as they come down it will be a little bit easier for firefighters to contain that fire with more moisture in the air.
