#RossForkFire end-of-day thread:
1/? 🧵

2) we're still hours away from the next higher-res VIIRS 🛰️pass. The latest (good) data I have is from 3:30p (left) and lower res MODIS from 10:30p (right) which doesn't show much heat at all. 🧵

3) if you've seen rumors about Galena & fire in the wood river valley, see this previous thread (I see no evidence for it) and the 10:30 MODIS doesn't support that either.

4) I'm anxiously awaiting the nightly IR Mapping mission data for #MooseFire and #RossForkFire to confirm growth. N149Z is currently on the North Idaho fires, will pit stop in Missoula in about 30, then resume its mission of central Idaho fires. Should wrap up around 4am. 🧵

5) new expanded #TFR in place.
I saw one or two unrelated planes in transit the TFR or skirting the S edge of fire today, so this should give them more breathing room.
🧵

6) #RossForkFire has already cooled off more tonight than it ever did last night. Here's the GOES-west fire temp channel animation. (last night's is in my feed)
side note: The Trail Ridge fire at Lost Trail really went nuclear today based on earlier data from this sat

7) I was really hoping to have tonight's ICS-209 incident summary to look over, but the gbcc hasn't posted them yet. Will take a fresh look at everything in the morning.

8) the incoming Incident Management Team (Type-2) takes over in the morning. IMTs have their own PIO staff so we should start getting a little more consistent information with additional resources there.

9) and... that's a wrap for me today. I'll hop on and post/comment on maps & sit rep in the morning as soon as the data is available. G'night y'all.
