The Vinegar Fire has not had active fire behavior for two weeks (since the last rain) as of September 10, 2021.  This fire started approximately 2 miles north of the Cabin Creek administrative site. Crews have put point protection measures in place at Cabin Creek. The Cabin Creek airstrip is closed to general aviation, NOTAM # I0807-141. The Club, Rush Creek, and Vinegar fires were started by lightning on July 15, 2021. A local Type 4 Incident Management organization is managing the fires. There are no closures associated with this fire, however; new trail closures are in effect for the Club Fire.Three fires are burning in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness on the Payette National Forest.

The Rush Creek Fire grew to the southeast and increased in size by 1,400 acres on September 7, 2021, subsequent days saw backing fire and slower spread. Cloud and smoke cover the morning of September 10th has been limiting fire activity. The fire is working its way towards Lookout Mountain Ridge and Black Pole.  This fire started at the confluence of Telephone and Rush Creeks, 14 miles southwest of Taylor Ranch (origin lat/long: 45 59 00 x 114 59 35). After initial attack was unsuccessful, crews moved on to point protection.  They completed that work and were brought out by helicopter on Monday, July 26.The Rush Fire has and will continue to actively burn until we receive a fair amount of rain over the fire.  The fire is being closely managed, but tree stands within basins and bowls are continuing to ignite as wind moves through the area.  Ridges of rock outcroppings and other terrain barriers will assist in keeping the fire from growing larger and threatening values.  There...

Issued at 900 AM MDT Fri Sep 10 2021 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 101450 TCDEP5 Tropical Storm Olaf Discussion Number 12 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP152021 900 AM MDT Fri Sep 10 2021 The satellite presentation of Olaf has significantly degraded over the past several hours after the center moved across the southern portion of Baja California Sur overnight. The system's organized convection has collapsed, and infrared satellite imagery indicates cloud top temperatures are rapidly warming near the estimated center position. The initial intensity is lowered to 60 kt for this advisory, which now makes Olaf a tropical storm. This estimate may still be generous, but limited surface observations and radar data make it difficult to confidently assess the intensity. Hopefully, scatterometer data this afternoon will provide more insight into changes in Olaf's surface wind field. The tropical storm has slowed down a bit since last night, and its estimated motion is northwest (310 degrees) at 9 kt. Recent microwave imagery suggests the center of Olaf is just offshore the southwestern coast of Baja California Sur, and the cyclone is likely to move roughly parallel to the coast today. Then, a strong mid-level high pressure ridge centered over the southern Rockies is expected to build westward to the north of Olaf. This ridge should turn Olaf toward the west by tonight, and then toward the southwest through early next week. The official NHC track forecast has been adjusted to the south of the previous forecast once again, in agreement with the latest multi-model consensus aids. Olaf is likely to continue rapidly weakening during the next couple of days. In the short-term, its proximity to the mountainous terrain of the Baja California peninsula will disrupt its ability to sustain organized convection. As Olaf moves away from land, the cyclone will encounter decreasing sea-surface temperatures and very dry mid-level air, which should expedite its transition into a post-tropical cyclone. In fact, the latest GFS and ECMWF model simulated satellite imagery show Olaf becoming completely devoid of convection within the next 24-36 h. The latest NHC intensity forecast shows more rapid weakening than the previous one, primarily based on recent satellite trends and the lower initial intensity. The official forecast remains below the HCCA and IVCN consensus aids, which are inflated by the SHIPS and LGEM models that fail to weaken Olaf during the next 24 h. Key Messages: 1. Olaf is forecast to move along the southwestern coast of the Baja California peninsula today, with tropical storm conditions continuing over southern portions of Baja California Sur through this evening. These winds should diminish tonight as Olaf continues weakening and turns westward away from land. 2. Heavy rains associated with Olaf are expected across portions of southern Baja California Sur through today. This will pose a threat of significant and life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides.

For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 900 AM MDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Olaf was located near latitude 24.1 North, longitude 111.3 West. Olaf is moving toward the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h). A turn toward the west at a slower forward speed is expected tonight, followed by a turn toward the southwest on Saturday night and Sunday. On the forecast track, the center of Olaf will move along the southwestern coast of Baja California Sur today and then move westward away from land by tonight. Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional weakening is expected during the next couple of days, and Olaf is forecast to degenerate to a post-tropical cyclone on Saturday and weaken to a remnant low on Saturday night. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 990 mb (29.24 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Olaf can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP5 and WMO header WTPZ45 KNHC and on the web at hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep5.shtml?key_messages WIND: Tropical storm conditions are occurring within portions of the tropical storm warning area and will spread northward across central portions of Baja California Sur today. Tropical storm conditions should end over Baja California Sur by tonight. RAINFALL: Olaf is expected to produce total rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches with maximum amounts of 15 inches across portions of southern Baja California Sur through today. This rainfall may trigger significant and life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides. STORM SURGE: Storm surge is expected to produce coastal flooding in regions of onshore winds within the warning area. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and damaging waves. SURF: Swells generated by Olaf are affecting portions of the coasts of southern Baja California Sur, Nayarit, and Sinaloa, and will spread northward along the west coast of Baja California Sur through Saturday. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0750 AM CDT Fri Sep 10 2021 Valid 101300Z - 111200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF THE INTERIOR NORTHWEST TO NORTHERN GREAT BASIN... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe gusts and hail are possible from thunderstorms today, over portions of the interior Northwest to northern Great Basin. ...Synopsis... In mid/upper levels, the large-scale pattern will remain characterized by western ridging and eastern troughing over the CONUS, but with some deamplification of both. Strong shortwaves -- now nearly phased over the Northeast and central/southern Mid-Atlantic regions -- will merge, weaken and eject northeastward out of New England by the end of the period. Farther west, a strong anticyclone is initially centered over the southern Rockies. While the related 500-mb high will remain near its present position over northern NM throughout the period, associated ridging now extending through the northern/Canadian Rockies will be eroded substantially, amidst height falls preceding a strong Pacific shortwave trough. That trough -- now evident in moisture-channel imagery west of WA/OR/northern CA near 127-128W -- is forecast to eject northeastward over the Pacific Northwest through tonight. By 00Z, it should be located near the Cascades, and should reach the northern Rockies by 12Z tomorrow. At the surface, 11Z analysis showed a cold front over Atlantic waters east of the Carolinas, southwestward across northern FL to the north-central Gulf shelf waters. This front should move southward toward central FL through the period, while decelerating and slowly weakening. General thunderstorms are possible on either side of this front mainly in FL. ...Interior Northwest...northern Great Basin... Scattered, episodic thunderstorms are forecast to develop through this afternoon and move northeastward quickly across the outlook area, with the most intense activity offering isolated severe gusts and (in northwestern areas) hail as well. A relatively strong plume of large-scale lift (low-level warm advection above the surface, as well as DCVA, with some apparent horizontal overlap) precedes the shortwave trough from northern CA to central/western OR, and is manifest in satellite imagery by a well-defined "baroclinic leaf" pattern. Considerable lightning already has been apparent with associated convection across northern CA, and the entire plume of ascent will move northeastward across northwestern NV, eastern OR and western/southern ID through the day, in step with the pace of the shortwave trough to the west. Moisture will be adequate across the region, with PW generally in the 1-1.5- inch range over OR, decreasing to the 0.75-1-inch range over southeastern parts of the outlook area. Supportive destabilization should occur through two primary, somewhat overlapping processes: 1. Strong cooling and steepening of lapse rates aloft over mainly the OR part of the outlook, just behind the ongoing precip plume plume, atop limited but sufficient surface heating to condition the boundary layer and support 500-1200 J/kg MLCAPE. 2. Heating, steepening of low-level lapse rates and deepening/mixing of the boundary layer over the NV/UT addition, ahead of and off the extrapolated southeast rim of the ongoing precip plume. Much of this area also is at risk for dry thunderstorms for fire hazards; see the day-1 SPC fire-weather outlook for details. Though thunderstorms will cross the area throughout the day, the potential for strong-severe wind will be greatest during the afternoon, when diurnally heated and well-mixed boundary layers are most receptive to downdraft acceleration. That component will be augmented by potential for some downward momentum transfer, beneath a broad belt of 40-55-kt 500-mb gradient flow progged to spread across the entire outlook area during the afternoon. Parts of the outlook may need greater unconditional probabilities if mesoscale/ timing uncertainties on mode and destabilization decrease. ..Edwards/Guyer.. 09/10/2021 Read more

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 AM PDT Fri Sep 10 2021

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Olaf, located over southern Baja California Sur, Mexico.

A large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms near the
Pacific coast of Central America and the adjacent waters are
associated with the southern portion of a tropical wave. A broad
area of low pressure is expected to form along this wave south of
the southern coast of Mexico during the next day or two, and the low
could then develop further into a tropical depression late this
weekend or early next week while it moves west-northwestward or
northwestward near the southern and southwestern coasts of Mexico.
Regardless of development, this system is likely to produce heavy
rains across portions of Central America and southern Mexico during
the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.
