Weather:  An area of low pressure moving into northern California is expected to bring scattered showers, cooler temperatures, and gusty southwest winds through the late afternoon. Rainfall accumulations will be light with a few thunderstorms possible in the afternoon as the front approaches. Temperature highs will reach 58-63 degrees with wind out of the north-northeast in the afternoon at 8-12mph with gusts up to 30mph.

 FIRE BEHAVIOR:  Wet fuels have eliminated the threat of major fire spread. Gusty north-northeast winds continue to pose a snag hazard over the higher elevations.  UFISH FIRE: 7,850 acres at 98% containment.   

ELLIOT FIRE: 13,875 acres at 74% containment.    

Resources will continue to actively patrol and monitor all containment lines and seek out opportunities to address any heat near the fire perimeter, where safe to do so. Suppression repair will continue where it is safe to do so.

EVACUATIONS: All Evacuation Warnings around the Ufish and Elliot Fires have been dropped.  View current Siskiyou County evacuation area status by visiting https://community.zonehaven.com.
