...REMARKS...
I only recieved wind observations from the fire location last
evening.  For temperature/ humidity/ Clouds please refer to the
Spotted Bear Quick Deploy located at the Big Prairie Work Center
TR283.  The wind observations are from the an individual on the
ground at the fire location in the Gordon Creek drainage.  At 1230
winds were 2-5 upslope upcanyon.  At 1345 winds switched to 10-20 at
the tree tops fire activity increased.  Winds stayed fairly
consistant untill 1830 although occasionally smoke from the column
was seen to be influnced by a easterly or upcanyon wind, these
esterly winds were not seen on the fire level.  At  1830 winds died
down.

Of particular concern are the wind speed and direction for today and
tomarrow in advance of the moisture that appears to be on the way
Saturday night into Sunday.

Thanks - and sorry I dont have better obs for you.

Jim
