Jaw Bone Canyon and Rim Fires, Kern County

As predicted more lightning hit the mountains of Kern County today with two new fires being sparked, the Rim and Jaw Bone Canyon fires, both several hundred acres with rapid rates of spread. A large column is clearly visible as far away as Lancaster accompanied with very visible cumulus development.

Some dry lightning may be forming tonight in CA zone 259 on the north west side of the Angeles National Forest. Temperatures at 19:44 we still in the 90's with an obvious southerly flow moving into the area.

Aircraft is actively working the fire and some structure protection has been called in. More to follow.
