FireWxPy by @firewxguy.bsky.social rocks. Check out this set of cross-sections as strong downslope flow initiates over the Cascades this afternoon. Notice the hydraulic jump area pushing eastward through the evening. Extreme fire behavior is possible on any new ignitions in the rangeland today.

If you have a few minutes, this article by @thatsmohrlikeit.bsky.social is a great read. It gives a bit of an insight into how prescribed fire works, how my job ties into it, why it's a good thing, and why we need to pick up the pace!
