The wind has come down from 40 with gusts to 80 to 18 with gusts to 32 (Hawkeye just south of the fire). The pressure gradient that reached 18 mbars in 2017 only reached about 12 this morning. Currently about 9 mbars. The Tuesday windstorm is forecast to be weaker.
All that said, the Kincade fire is still on the move and it's a very bad time to have a fire even with the lighter winds.
