reposting  first it may seem like the fires are dying down and the fire crews are getting an upper hand on them, however its only wishful thinking. many big fires have lulls in activity, some for a few days, a few weeks. but the reality is this lull will be rather short lived. theres hundreds of thousands of small smoldering spot fires everywhere within the fire areas, once wind picks up again or a flare up happens itll impact areas that havent been hit. the new forecast models show even more mountain amplification and gusty winds coming into the weekend, this is due to a low pressure system that is moving out of the great basin that will be replaced by a area of high pressure that will cause more santa anas. looking at upper and lower level dynamic forecasts will allow greater mixing down into the lower level of the atmosphere, which will increase the offshore gradient within socal. so we are not out of the woods yet by any means. also to clarify what containment means is, containment does not mean the fire is out it only means that an established fire line has been cut around the fire perimeter, when gusty winds and sustained winds are a factor fire lines are pretty much useless, far ranged spotting makes them obsolete. for a fire to be truly out can take months, sometimes even years. fire activity is not so much about what is above ground, most fire activity can be underground impacting root systems that can flare up at a moments notice, sometimes even further away from where the ongoing activity is happening above ground. so even if it looks like its lighting up and dying down the reality is much different.
