The fire will continue to spread in all areas due to shifting winds ahead of Hurricane Kay’s arrival. The fire will have very high potential to move to the west due to the strong 40+mph east winds and possible extreme down slope winds coming off of the surrounding 10,000′ peaks. Fire activity could be moderated in the evening when heavy rains come from the thunderstorms. This will however also bring lightning to the area.

Evacuation Warning issued:

South of Rawson Rd., East of Washington St., North of Borel Rd., East of
Rancho California Rd, East of Anza Rd., North of Temecula Pkwy (Hwy79),
Northwest of Hwy 371, and West of Hwy 74.

Active fire behavior occurred in the east, south, and north portions of the incident. East winds at sundown pushed the fire to the west. As the winds subsided, the eastern portions of the incident continued to spread due to the complex terrain. Fire will become active with primary movement to the east due to the west winds. Steep drainages will aid the spread with the up canyon/up slope winds and heavy fuels.
