Winds have pushed 
and 
toward Santa Cruz all week so far, w/big smoke limiting air 
support. Tomorrow that will change as winds shift, push fire and smoke west (back towards fire on that front). This also clears flight paths for air support. 2/x

These are favorable conditions,
BUT THIS IS NOT OVER.
Short-term (~tomorrow afternoon) the main challenge is holding fire lines, esp near downtown boulder creek... near homes, anywhere fire can become erratic or out of control, and cause spot fires, etc. This is fire. 3/x

NEXT MAJOR CHALLENGE is the #fireweather. The #Firewx forecast is for MORE LIGHTNING 
starting Sunday. There is risk of new fires from dry lightning with this weather event and downdraft winds from any passing wx that could kick up embers. 4/x @RobMayeda is ALWAYS on this beat.
