Narrative:

Overnight the fire activity was limited to lower intensity ground fire in the understory. The heavy material continued to smolder and consume with the limited humidity recovery in the mid and higher elevations. The winds were light and terrain driven having little effect on the sheltered fuels in the timber. The smoke settled into the lower

elevations of the fire overnight.

Planned Actions for the next Operational Period:

Priority areas include: the Lassen & Shasta Sectors, Old Station and surrounding communities, the highway 395 escarpment area including Janesville, Milford and Herlong Junction as well as Lake Davis and the Grizzly

Creek area east of the escarpment. Communities of Greenhorn, Cromberg and Davis Lake also at risk, see "East Zone:"

below.

Continue to establish direct and indirect containment lines south of Old Station, utilizing lines created during

Provide for service calls within communities impacted by the fire: Chester, Hwy 36 corridor, Hwy 89 Corridor,

Hwy 395 corridor, Paxton, Greenville, Jonesville, Crescent Mills, Taylorsville, Prattville, Butte Meadows, Bucks

Lake, Meadows Valley, Rush Creek, Warner Valley, Pecks Valley, Williams Valley, Hunt Canyon, Susanville,

Janesville, and the

Greater Almanor area.

Continued mop up of and patrol of 1,000-hr fuels will require a significant amount of resources due to the

volume of fuels

and the steep and rugged terrain.

Continued holding actions and point protection of communities and critical infrastructure will require a significant resource presence for the next several operational periods.

East Zone:

Resources will continue hold and improve dozer and handline from Lake Davis to Clover Valley, and then further north, to keep fire from spreading east towards Dixie Valley and north towards Milford, as well as south

towards Clover Valley and Portola.

Construct direct and indirect containment lines on the flanks of the fire edge to prevent fire from impacting

Milford and Highway

395.

Structure protection remains in place within Genesee and Taylorsville.

Critical resources identified in Block 39 are required to manage operational span of control, enhance safety,

and accomplish

delegated requirements from cooperating

agencies.

12 hours:

A typical west-southwest wind is expected for the next several days. Moderate RH recoveries with

temperatures dropping until early next week.

24 hours:

High pressure building over the region will allow for increasing temperatures to above normal levels with some lower alleys reaching the 90s Sunday and Monday along with a very dry air mass remaining in place resulting in critically low RH values in the afternoon and poor to moderate mid-slope recoveries. Easterly wind in the morning

will shift to southerly/westerly

and gust into the teens.

Moderate to active fire behavior and moderate growth expected.

48 hours:

A typical west-southwest wind is expected for the next several days before the weather disturbance moves into the area Tuesday. Gusty southwest winds and an outside chance for a shower or thunderstorm is

expected Tuesday but the chances for a wetting rain remain very low. Relative humidity will improve slightly as this weather feature moves through northern California Tuesday and Wednesday. A breezier pattern sets up for the middle of next week with gusty southwest winds and dry conditions continuing.

Moderate to active fire behavior and moderate growth expected.

72 hours:

Weather disturbance moves into the area Tuesday. Gusty southwest winds and an outside chance for a

shower or thunderstorm is expected Tuesday but the chances for a wetting rain remain very low. Relative humidity will improve slightly as this weather feature moves through northern California Tuesday and Wednesday. A breezier pattern sets up for the middle of next week with gusty southwest winds and dry conditions continuing. Southwest wind should be reaching 10 to 18 mph with gusts to near 35 mph.

Moderate activity and minimal growth expected

Anticipated after 72 hours:

Weather disturbance moves into the area Tuesday. Gusty southwest winds and an outside chance for a shower or thunderstorm is expected Tuesday but the chances for a wetting rain remain very low. Relative humidity will improve slightly as this weather feature moves through northern California Tuesday and Wednesday. A breezier pattern sets up for the middle of next week with gusty southwest winds and dry conditions continuing. Southwest wind should be reaching 10 to 18 mph with gusts to near 35 mph.

Moderate activity and minimal growth expected.

Butte, Lassen, Plumas, and Tehama Counties have declared local emergencies. FMAG has been approved for the Dixie Incident.

Regional Order No. 21-04, effective August 22, 2021 through September 6, 2021, closes eight National Forests including Plumas, Lassen.

Weather Concerns :

Light east to southeast winds less than 10 mph were present across

much of the area through the late morning and early afternoon hours. A

light west to southwest wind developed across the western periphery of

the fire area but winds were predominantly light and terrain driven

during the afternoon. The change of wind direction overnight and lighter winds aloft allowed smoke to linger across the area resulting in poor visibility through the morning hours in many valleys. Although in the midst of warming trend, temperatures did not increase that much from yesterday and held in the 70s and lower 80s due to smoke shading. Dry conditions continued with moderate RH recoveries falling to around 10% in the afternoon.
