Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 09/18/09 09:04:23 | No | Valley bottoms and southerly aspect mid-slopes herbaceous fuels have cured for the season. Precipitation received during the last week have kept forest fuels at all elevations resistant to carry fire. Both wildland and prescribed fires have shown reluctance to carry fire freely under the canopy. | |
| 08/21/09 11:16:30 | No | Live sage moistures reporting near long-term ave, currently measured at 92%. Live conifer (multiple spp.) have been measured above long-term ave, currently down to 123%. Valley bottoms have cured grasses and forbs, but not consistently dry across zone. | |
| 07/28/09 10:08:59 | No | Fuel samples are at median for all fuels. Forest fuels remaining green, helped by isolated but wet thunderstorms. | |
| 06/30/09 10:00:57 | No | ||
| 05/26/09 15:43:45 | No | ||
| 09/04/08 15:38:08 | No | Last weekend's widespread precipitation has moderated the dead and down fuels. Sage grass is pretty much cured at all elevations and given warmer and dry conditions, will burn actively | |
| 08/27/08 19:49:27 | Yes | 9,000 | Updated to reflect critical fuels below 9,000 |
| 08/27/08 19:48:06 | Yes | 9,000 | Updated to reflect critical fuels below 9,000 |
| 08/25/08 13:59:00 | Yes | 8,500 | Valley bottoms and favorable south/west slopes have reached critical state. Live fuels above 8500 and under canopy are still holding green-up for now. and down fuels. |
| 08/21/08 17:11:37 | Yes | 8,500 | Valley bottoms and favorable south/west slopes have reached critical state. Live fuels above 8500 and under canopy are still holding green-up for now. and down fuels. |
| 08/13/08 08:52:56 | Yes | 8,500 | Valley bottoms and favorable south/west slopes have reached critical state. Live fuels above 8500 and under canopy are still holding green-up for now. Scattered precipitation last weekend has slightly moderated dead and down fuels. |
| 08/04/08 09:41:27 | Yes | 8,000 | All valley bottoms and favorabel south/west slopes have reached critical state with hot, dry days. Live fuels above 8500 and under canopy are still holding green-up for now. 1000 hr logs are at critical threshold. |
| 07/30/08 13:26:56 | No | Fuels are steadily curing but have not yet reached Critical levels. Thousand hour fuels are also steadily dropping but field measured sites are holding well. | |
| 07/28/08 15:44:54 | No | Fuels are steadily curing but have not yet reached Critical levels. Thousand hour fuels are also steadily dropping but field measured sites are holding well. | |
| 07/19/08 20:24:50 | No | Live fuels below 7,500 are rapidly curing.; ERCs continue a steep climb as we have had little or no precipation the past three weeks | |
| 07/16/08 10:31:44 | No | Snow is about gone below 10,000 feet. Live fuels are green; lower to mid elevation dead fuels continue to dry. | |
| 07/09/08 08:49:15 | No | Warm the past week, snowline is at about 9,500. Live fuels are green; lower elevation dead fuels are drying quickly | |
| 07/01/08 11:10:04 | No | Warm the past week, snowline is at about 9,500. Live fuels are green; lower elevation dead fuels are drying quickly | |
| 06/12/08 07:41:00 | No | Cool spring with delayed snowmelt, runoff and greenup at mid and upper elevations. Recent period has been wet. | |
| 09/20/07 08:37:41 | No | Average September, looking to potentiasl moisture over the weekend to begin elevating hevay fuel moistures, esp at elevation. | |
| 09/10/07 13:15:29 | No | Average September | |
| 09/02/07 08:37:07 | No | Fuels in 415 have moderated to near average for this time of year. Low elevations and south slopes have cured fully yet understory live fuels especially above 8000' remain relatively green. Dead heavy fuels and live conifers are driving fire behavior and spread potential. | |
| 08/25/07 15:07:15 | No | This zone has received significant rains the past two weeks. This has moderated previous critical conditions and seen a rebound in the heavy fuels moisture levels. | |
| 08/18/07 16:58:39 | No | Most of the are received significant rains the past two days, these rains have moderated the 1,000 fuels short term. Live fuels are cured, but given the widespread moisture overall fuels are not considered critical for the short term. | |
| 08/18/07 16:56:09 | No | Most of the are received significant rains the past two days, these rains have moderated the 1,000 fuels short term. Live fuels are cured, but given the widespread moisture overall fuels are not considered critical at this time. | |
| 08/11/07 22:47:35 | Yes | 9,500 | Live fuels are completely cured. 1,000 fuels are quickly drying out from last weeks rains and are close to critical |
| 07/31/07 08:49:26 | Yes | 9,000 | Live fuels are cured at low elevations, with mid elevation fuels continuing to cure. Between July 24th and July 29th RAWS stations within the TDIC area recieved between 0.40 and 1.56 inches of rain. Short term the rain has moderated conditions, with 1,000 fuels estimated between 12-14. Because of the long term droung, the moderating effects are expected to be short term. |
| 07/26/07 10:49:53 | Yes | 9,500 | Live fuels are cured at low elevations, with mid elevation fuels curing rapidly.1,000 fuels estimated between 10-12 which is considered critical. Scattered rain showers have moderated fire potential short-term, but rain's effect will be short lived. |
| 07/18/07 11:18:22 | Yes | 9,500 | Live fuels are cured at low elevations, with mid elevation fuels curing rapidly.1,000 fuels estimated between 10-12 which is considered critical. Scattered rain showers have moderated fire potential short-term, but rain's effect will be short lived. |
| 07/10/07 11:47:12 | Yes | 9,000 | Most live fuels are in transition and with only low elevation south and west slopes close to curing, dead fuels including 1,000 fuels estimated between 11-13 which is considered critical |
| 07/02/07 10:56:05 | Yes | 9,000 | Most live fuels are in transition and with only low elevation south and west slopes close to curing, dead fuels including 1,000 fuels estimated between 11-13 which is considered critical |
| 06/25/07 11:17:48 | Yes | 9,000 | While live fuels are still in transition and will not burn, dead fuels including 1,000 fuels are dry with ERCs at the 90th percentile |
| 06/15/07 18:14:41 | No | Snow is pretty much off except at the highest elevations (above 9,500 Ft). Green-up has occurred at all elevations, 1,000 hour samples are a indicating we are couple weeks ahead of normal fire season | |
| 06/04/07 10:10:57 | No | Snow level hanging about 9000' or so. In full green-up at low to midelevations. | |

| 08/22/05 08:22:26 | No | Sage/grass cured below 7,500, recent precipatation has moderated dead and down fuels | |
| 08/08/05 09:18:15 | No | Sage/grass cured below 7,500, but overall fuels still not critical | |
| 07/20/05 15:48:21 | No | Still not critical, but could be a week away at lower elevations. Above 8,500 feet still pretty green | |
