I swung the Cheryl St camera around and split the difference between Jupiter and Buck.

Currently the clouds and smoke are making visibility super poor. As the weather starts to draw and offshore breeze, this should get better.

On Wednesday 8/14 a new fire started near Mt Jupiter on the Olympic peninsula near Brinnon, WA.  In the last two days it has grown from 4 to ~350 acres.  Details are still somewhat difficult to get as the fire is so new, but it's current position is about 5 miles south of the Buck Mountain site which serves a good bit of the Seattle area.   At the moment the likelihood of getting that far is fairly low, but depends on how successful the containment efforts are.  The forecast is a mixed blessing as rain is expected but is in the form of thundershowers Saturday into Sunday.  Whether the rain helps or potential lightning and winds add to the problem is yet to be seen.
