Here's The MODIS map for 7 am today and Jim's comments:

"Another cool and foggy night (44 degree low with 97% RH at 1100 feet). Just two new hot spots on the MODIS map, on both sides of the Div MM fireline. According to this morning's InciWeb, backfiring was widespread yesterday afternoon and evening. The areas where the hotspots appeared are not mentioned in the InciWeb report; but, from their location, I think that both hotspots are probably backfires, one of them mistakenly placed on the wrong side of the fireline by MODIS.

InciWeb reports that the fire burned towards the Carmel River in Carmel River Canyon and Miller Canyon yesterday. That would mean the fire is getting close to the LL and MM firelines. This activity does not show on the satellite map."
