Comments and notes on flight:
Because of the winter storm we flew earlier in the daylight in hopes of capturing something. We were able to capture a surprising amount of heat through thin areas of clouds, but popssibly up to half of the fire was clouded over. Captured only the North half as usual.
Used NIROPS IR perimeter from 20201106 as the base.
All of the areas we could see were also covered with snow.
* Fire perimeter increased slightly in the North East. It may have increased in other areas but we could not see it.
Saturday Evening Update: 379,716 acres and 70% containment.
