A BRIEF JULY UPDATE: WILDFIRE
This is a brief status report about what is occurring in Steamboat Creek Basin in regards to FishWatch in July. I will have much more detail in my July monthly report, which won’t be going out until August.
On July 16, Tuesday at approximately 20:00, thunderstorm activity passed over Steamboat Creek Basin.
My Lightning Tracker app showed innumerable lightning occurrences over the Basin. The storm pretty much passed by 20:30, with only very sporadic occurrences on the periphery of the Basin to 23:00.
My Lightning Tracker 07.16.24 @ 19:52. The blue dot is Steamboat. The squiggly line leading up and to the right is Steamboat Creek. The Big Bend Pool is about halfway between the blue dot and “Steamboat Creek.” All the red dots are lightning occurrences within 15-minutes of 19:52, and the yellow dots are within 30-minutes.
