Dormant Brush
Hardwood Slash

Fine fuels are saturated and not available to carry fire. Fuels are now limited to 100- and 1000-hour
fuels which are gradually recovering from a critically dry condition. Ground fire has not been widely
reported but remains a concern with resources instructed to report any signs. Substantial dead and
down material from previous wildfires and hurricane damage covers large areas in the fire areas, both inside and outside of the fire perimeter. Shrub and herbaceous fuels had been contributing to fire spread on exposed sites.

Significant Events

Rainfall over the fire area today continued to reduce fire activity. Fuels are moist with continual, light, misty rainfall which persisted most of the morning and early afternoon. Fire behaviour is limited to slowly burning hurricane debris and fallen logs which have retained heat. An occasional light smoke is visible mixed with the low cloud cover from the smoldering fuels. 

Outlook
Planned Actions

Table Rock Fire: Suppression repair across the Complex 

Persimmon Ridge: Suppression repair across the Complex

Projected Incident Activity

12 hours: The potential for fire activity this evening is very low due to moist conditions.
24 hours: Good overnight recovery and humid conditions during the day will offset increased wind speeds and higher temperatures on Friday, making fire activity unlikely. Smoldering fire behavior is
expected.
48 hours: With out additional precipitation, portions of the perimeter could see additional smoke
production from smoldering heavy fuels with potential for creeping fire behavior.
72 hours: A gradual increase in fire activity is expected to continue. It's possible that conditions will
support backing fire activity.
Anticipated after 72 hours: Conditions that support large fire growth are unlikely in the coming week. However, forecasts suggest that fuels will continue becoming available, allowing
for eventual moderate fire activity within containment lines. Overall fire activity
is expected to remain low to moderate, with potential for remaining green up. 

Remarks

Blue Team is demobilizing on 4/5/25.

Current Weather
Weather Concerns

The overnight period will feature slowly clearing skies and will become mostly cloudy with warmer temperatures in the middle 60s and relative humidity recovering to 90% to 100%. Winds will be light and a stray shower can't be ruled out. Into the day on Friday, you can expect mainly sunny skies with temperatures warming into the lower 80s and relative humidity dropping into the upper 40% range. Winds will be from the southwest with some gusts reaching 18 mph today. Saturday will be a mainly dry day as high pressure remains in control. Temperatures will again be around 80 with relative humidity only dropping into the upper 30% range. Winds could gust up 20 mph from the southwest during the day. Sunday will feature a cold front beginning to move through the region. The afternoon will feature the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms with plenty of rainfall potential. Strong winds will also be associated with the cold front.
