Glad to hear that #SunshineWildlandFire is 100% contained and crews are heading home. With the massive cold weather coming in I cannot imagine how hard that work is.

There were no significant changes or growth in the fire last night. We anticipate being able to provide an update once the incoming crews relieve the overnight crews and complete their transition and briefing. #SunshineWildlandFire

No new big updates on the #SunshineWildlandFire. Evacuation zones haven't changed from the overnight period.
It took until about 9pm for the winds to die down according to the weather station at the NCAR Mesa Lab. Winds are generally from the northwest between 5–10 mph.
The aviation forecast for Rocky Mountain Metro indicates winds will be at about that level most of the day, so that should hopefully allow for better containment. A 4-hour period tomorrow is marked for increased wind activity.
#boulder county evacuations are still in place, fire containment sounds like it is still at 25% and 16 acres.
