On the morning of 6 November 2024, the Mountain Fire erupted, and fueled by strong winds, the fire spread southwestward towards cities located along the California coastline. The GOES-18 GeoColor product (see below) observed the fire and the corresponding smoke plumes from ~18-21Z, 6 November 2024. The narrow, long, smoke plumes advected westward offshore and eventually inundated the neighboring Anacapa, Santa Cruz and Santa Rosa islands<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given a closer look at the fire intensity values, forecasters can utilize the sample function in AWIPS, where the cursor readout values show several characteristics of the fire pixels: the time stamp, the polar-orbiting satellite, the fire confidence intervals (i.e., low, nominal or high), and the FRP values expressed in MW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of 8 November 2024,\u00a0the Mountain Fire burned 20,000+ acres that included dozens of structures, and led to mass evacuations of homes, schools and businesses<\/a>. The fire is 7% contained.
