08/23/2011	1805	Rail car propane tank fire - City of Lincoln. Two rail car tanks involved and other fixed storage tanks. A state of emergency declaration is in process. One mile evacuation perimeter has been established.

08/23/2011	1744	New incident - CA-LNU Old Incident. 30 acres, 0% containment, moderate rate of spread, limited access. Fire is east of the community of Guerneville.
08/23/2011	1515	Latest computer model guidance this morning and new satellite data suggest a significant change in the forecast for tomorrow. We are now anticipating a high-based lightning outbreak across parts of the region.  Mid level moisture will move up the coast and into the Mendocino region by Wednesday morning.  Isolated thunderstorms are possible as early as then across some of the north coastal mountains.  However, by early afternoon, thunderstorm activity should become a bit more widespread  closer to the Oregon and Nevada borders as the moisture moves further north.  For this reason we have issued a High Risk for Lightning across Northeastern CA (NC06) and the Eastside (NC08) for Wednesday.  Otherwise continued seasonably dry thru the 7-day period...with some NW to W winds of 15-30 mph on Friday with another drier low moving across the area.  That low could produce an isolated thunderstorm but lacks the moisture to do much else at this point. http://gacc.nifc.gov/oncc/predictive/weather/Fire_Potential.html
