The month-old fire had spread across nearly 87 square miles by Sunday and was 49 percent contained.
Fire officials said cool, moist coastal air was bringing falling temperatures and a possibility of rain for late Sunday.
All but 34 of the nearly 2,100 fires started by lightning across
the state last month have been contained after charring almost 1
million acres.
