Fire
Portions of the fire received light precipitation yesterday during afternoon thunderstorm activity. Today, drier air will start to move into the Outlook area and reduce the chance of thunderstorms. Tactical firing operations are possible on the western side of the Trout. Expected fire behavior to include smoldering, single tree/small group torching, spotting, and potential short uphill runs.

Smoke
Yesterday, smoke transport was again impacted by convective thunderstorm activity and stayed local to the fire, before tracking to the S/SE in the evening. Today, a drier westerly flow will begin to setup over the Outlook area and smoke transport will be generally to the east. Western foothill communities should get a bit of a break and see generally GOOD to MODERATE conditions. The north Owens Valley should see generally GOOD conditions with smoke staying to their south. The southern Owens Valley can expect MODERATE conditions during the day with the potential for USG overnight as smoke settles. Westerly winds will increase tomorrow and continue into Saturday.
