Significant Events	Minimal

Planned Actions	Hold and patrol existing fire line. Mop up to the extent necessary to keep the fire within its current perimeter. Continue suppression repair as appropriate.
Projected Incident Activity	Expect smoldering and creeping. Continued consumption of unburned fuel well within the perimeter. No movement outside of the current perimeter is expected.

Weather Concerns	Observed: Monsoon moisture continues to push into the region through the weekend and will result in chances for showers and thunderstorms each afternoon. Storms will be capable of producing heavy rain which could trigger debris flows on area burn scars and in steep terrain. Generally winds will be light outside of gusty and erratic outflows from thunderstorms. A drier southwest flow with typical late day winds will return early to mid next week.
