The fire has come about 1KM closer to the edge of town today.

(Thus the Evacuation Alert)

Friday morning looks like significant rain directly on the fire area. Fingers crossed!

A screenshot from the weather model shows 8AM on Friday with strong rain over the central and South Island.

8AM Weather Update. Today is the changeover day. Weather will be impactful in good (cooler) and bad (wind) ways.

The fire itself could also impact the weather if the smoke keeps temperatures lower and ‘turns off' the Inlet breeze.

Important day. Stay vigilant. Watch ACRD Voyent and Web for new Alerts/Orders. Make preparations.

the bad news: The sun looks like this right now thanks to the massive smoke. Air quality is not good. Smells like charcoal

the good news: If this smoke remains over us all day, it will keep the temperature down and might lessen or even turn off the Inlet breeze.

Impossible to predict. It is in the hands of the weather gods at this point.

An orange hued scene. The sun is just barely visible through the high smoke as a small pink disk.

Two sides of the smoke.

Ash is falling. There is a light southerly breeze.

Heavy smoke looms
over a blue house. The edge of the smoke is visible to the right. The blue sky is showing through on that side.

I was hoping that the smoke might have limited the temperature and the Alberni Inlet breeze.

Well, the temperature doesn't much matter now. The breeze is here.
SouthEast.

Potentially pushing the fire toward the town.

I have not heard any updates on the fire itself.

Take care out there people. Stay alert, watch your phones for updates.

Be Prepared.

are Ukrainian flag flies a top of flagpole above the house. The sky is partially obscured by whitish brown smoke. The flag is flying straight. The wind is from the southeast.
