| 06/11/08 12:57:39 | No | Greenup is occuring with all plants responding. 1000 hr fuels are still below 10%. | |
| 05/09/08 08:41:44 | No | Greenup is occuring. Snow present on protected slopes above 8,000' 1,000 hrs are dry 8-10% even with the high snowpack we had. | |
| 09/10/07 11:05:03 | No | Curent rainfall has aleviated critical dryness. 1000 hrs are 14%. Needlecast and duff layers are wet. | |
| 08/28/07 13:48:51 | No | Curent rainfall has aleviated critical dryness. 1000 hrs are 12%. Needlecast and duff layers are wet. | |
| 08/13/07 11:21:53 | No | Curent rainfall has aleviated critical dryness. 1000 hrs are drying and approaching 10%. Needlecast and duff layers are drying. | |
| 08/06/07 12:04:05 | No | Curent rainfall has aleviated critical dryness. 1000 hrs up to 12%. Needlecast and duff layers very moist. | |
| 07/30/07 11:16:13 | No | Curent rainfall has aleviated critical dryness. 1000 hrs up to 12%. Needlecast and duff layers very moist. | |
| 07/24/07 11:35:57 | Yes | 10,000 | Curent rainfall has aleviated critical dryness. Will take a few days for fuels to dry. 1000 hrs are still very low and receptive to fire once surrounding fuels dry out. |
| 07/16/07 14:52:17 | Yes | 10,000 | All fuels are receptive to fire. Forests fuels are extremely dry with 1,000 hrs below 6%. |
| 07/09/07 10:52:34 | Yes | 10,000 | All fuels are receptive to fire. Forests fuels are extremely dry with 1,000 hrs below 6%. |
| 07/02/07 10:42:23 | Yes | 10,000 | All fuels are receptive to fire. Forests fuels are extremely dry with 1,000 hrs below 8%. |
| 06/11/07 10:17:41 | No | Live fuel moistures very low. Manzanita 87%, pondorosa pine 90%, 1000 hr 8%. Fuels in forest environment are critical but grass and sage have enough moisture to not be critical. Continued drying of forest fuels with low rh's. | |
| 06/04/07 18:12:35 | No | Live fuel moistures very low. Manzanita 87%, pondorosa pine 90%, 1000 hr 8%. Fuels in forest environment are critical but grass and sage have enough moisture to not be critical. | |
| 05/14/07 16:27:20 | No | Green-up is occuring but slowly. Dry soil moistures and low RH are preventing plants from developing. Bug kill timber is evident in white fir forests. Dry winter has left 1000 hr fuels receptive to fire. Current live fuel moistures in woody herbacious is 90-100%. Low RH is causing fuels to dry rapidly. | |
| 05/10/07 13:58:50 | No | Green-up is occuring in all fuel types. Bug kill timber is evident in white fir forests. Dry winter has left 1000 hr fuels receptive to fire. Current live fuel moistures in woody herbacious is 90-100%. | |
| 05/01/07 14:32:56 | No | Green-up is occuring in all fuel types. Bug kill timber is evident in white fir forests. Dry winter has left 1000 hr fuels receptive to fire. Some snow patches on shaded slopes at 10,000 feet. | |
| 09/11/06 10:47:51 | No | Annual grasses are cured below 7000. Moisture has been significant enough to moderate fire behavior above 7,000ft. Heavy standing and down dead fuels from bug kill pine above 7,000ft, but low spread potential because of high moisture contents. Herbacious fuels could become available with frost kill, but this is typically countered by short burn period. | |
| 08/16/06 12:17:18 | Yes | Abundant carryover fuels are available to burn on windy days across the profile. Annual grasses are cured below 7000. Heavy standing and down dead fuels from bug kill pine. Live fuels above 7000 have recovered from recent moisture. 1000 hrs above 11% | |
| 07/29/06 11:55:40 | Yes | Abundant carryover fuels are available to burn on windy days across the profile. Annual grasses are cured below 7000. Heavy standing and down dead fuels from bug kill pine. Live fuels above 7000 | |
| 07/12/06 08:58:55 | Yes | Abundant carryover fuels are available to burn on windy days across the profile. Annual grasses are cured below 7000. Heavy standing and down dead fuels from bug kill pine. Live fuels above 7000' have recovered some from recent moisture. 1000 hr fuels are 11% or less. | |
| 06/26/06 11:56:53 | Yes | Abundant carryover fuels are available to burn on windy days across the profile. Annual grasses are cured below 7000. Heavy standing and down dead fuels from bug kill pine.Live fuels above 7000 are drought stressed. 1000 hr fuels are 8% or less | |
| 06/14/06 11:01:38 | Yes | Abundant carryover fuels are available to burn on windy days across the profile. Annual grasses are cured below 7000. Heavy standing and down dead fuels from bug kill pine. | |
| 05/15/06 10:26:07 | Yes | Abundant carryover fuels are available to burn on windy days across the profile. Annual grasses are cured below 5000'. | |
| 05/15/06 10:10:48 | Yes | Abundant carryover fuels are available to burn on windy days across the profile. New fine fuels below 4500 | |
| 05/04/06 12:12:28 | Yes | Abundant carryover fuels are available to burn on windy days across the profile. New fine fuels below 4500' are transitioning to cured and are green above that elevation. Pinyon and juniper are at 85% live fuel moisture. | |
| 10/26/05 08:11:06 | No | Fires will still carry well in fine fuels on dry, windy days.... those are getting fewer and farther between. | |
| 10/14/05 09:31:34 | Yes | Fuels critical below 6500 feet in light fuels. ERC's are moderate, but high BI days are still pushing fires through fine fuels pretty darned well. | |
| 10/14/05 09:29:34 | Yes | Fuels critical below 9000 feet. Indices are still high, but expect more moderate fire behavior with shorter day lengths and better overnight recoveries. | |
| 09/22/05 11:03:50 | Yes | Fuels critical below 9000 feet. Indices are still high, but expect more moderate fire behavior with shorter day lengths and better overnight recoveries. | |
| 08/31/05 08:30:37 | Yes | Fuels critical below 9000 feet | |
| 08/31/05 08:28:26 | Yes | Fuels are dry, temps are high, RH's are low, just need some ignitions | |
| 08/01/05 10:53:01 | Yes | Fuels are critical below 9000' | |
| 07/13/05 16:39:16 | Yes | Fine fuels are critical below 6500'. Litter and manzanita in Ponderosa belt carrying fire very well up to ~8500' | |
| 07/05/05 15:32:15 | Yes | Fine fuels cured below 6500 | |
| 06/24/05 19:47:51 | Yes | Fine fuels cured below 6500', above normal fine fuel loading |
