California's water infrastructure and management rely on snowpack lasting much later into the season. Officials on Monday said that snowpack is melting at 1% per day, and if this trend continues, the April 1st snowpack measurement in two weeks could be the 2nd lowest in history.It could be a problem for wildfire risk and drought later in the year, and for Tahoe businesses that could see ski season end early. #NVwx #CAwx #WX

The seasonal anomalousness, as well sheer spatial extent, of upcoming record-shattering Western U.S. heatwave is genuinely startling. This will be associated with, by far, the strongest ridge ever observed during (at least) any Nov-Mar month. #CAwx #AZwx #NMwx #NVwx #UTwx #COwx

Storm total numbers. Diamond Peak ended with 74 inches. Unfortunately temperatures are going to rise and rain next week so we might be talking about flooding. #NVwx #CAwx #WX

The Sheriff’s Office received a report at 11 p.m. on Wednesday of a missing 21-year-old man. Authorities located his car in the parking lot of the Northstar California Resort, where the man had been skiing. The Tahoe Nordic Search & Rescue Team began their search using 15 skiers, a snowcat. Kang is the third skier who has died at Northstar California Resort this month. #NVwx #CAwx #WX

It's been a long day already digging out in Crystal Bay, LakeTahoe and I'm catchingup. We had a little Sun this morning. Currently, the NWS says it isn't snowing here, but it is. I assume it's lake effect. #NVwx #CAwx #WX

The avalanche was triggered at approximately 11:30 a.m. in the Castle Peak area, the Nevada County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. According to the Sierra Avalanche Center, up to 10 people were involved and possibly buried. #NVwx #CAwx #WX

Update from the Eastern Area Complex Incident Management Team:

Firefighters are starting their Sunday with overcast skies and rain showers. Those conditions are all beneficial to the work firefighters are continuing on the Cottonwood Peak Fire.

The area is under the influence of monsoonal moisture. If the sun breaks out later today, the instability could spawn thunderstorms in the area. It raises concerns over strong, gusty outflow winds, localized heavy downpours and even some flooding and debris flow in burn scars. Any associated lightning also poses a threat of new fire starts. Absent some unanticipated change, future fire growth is likely to be limited…

…Firefighters patrolled high value areas overnight, keeping their eyes peeled for any hotspots along containment lines. Sunday’s efforts are planned to build upon recent successes, described as “solid victories” by a member of the Operations staff on the Eastern Area Complex Incident Management Team.

In the northeast corner of the fire, two large sections of containment line have been joined together. Work continues to extend those lines to the north and south. Along the fire’s southern perimeter, crews and bulldozers will be utilized to hold and improve existing fireline and to extend it to the northwest. The structure protection group is being beefed up...

There are nearly 1,000 people assigned to the fire. The fire perimeter is fully staffed day and night; and a spike camp is being set up on the East perimeter to allow crews to deploy quickly and reduce travel time from the main fire camp. A new group has been established whose task is to attack any new fire starts or to surge to any area experiencing significant fire activity.

Private pilots and all drone operators should be aware that the Temporary Flight Restriction over the fire is expected to be enlarged again. It is in place to safeguard the helicopters and airtankers being utilized to suppress the fire.

August 22 Evening Update from Eastern Area Complex Incident Management Team:

Size: 122,110 acres, 10% containment

Current Situation: Firefighters continue to utilize all tools and resources available to build containment around the Cottonwood Peak Fire. On Friday, the structure protection group reinforced a multi-faceted protection strategy in and around Tuscarora.  Friday night operations will maintain a heavy presence in the area.

High terrain driven winds pushed the fire to the west and southwest Friday with structure protection shifting quickly to aggressively work on protection of ranches in those areas both on the ground and through the air. Friday night operations will continue a strong push to protect priority values at risk in this area. 

Despite the shifting winds, excellent progress in connecting lines occurred Friday on many portions of the perimeter. Wet weather is forecast to move into the area as early as Saturday night and continue into Sunday. Firefighters will prepare for strong potential outflow winds of 30 to 40 mph preceding this system and will actively work to hold lines during that time.
