The latest InciWeb update states that the fire is starting to slowly back down the cliff bands above the Madison Canyon. They plan to commence strategic burn out operations once the fire gets closer to the canyon bottom.

Also, they have started building a firebreak on the west side of the fire, to keep it out of West Yellowstone.

Anyone in Yellowstone might have some incredible photo opps in Madison Canyon, particularly tonight, provided fire managers and the NPS don't close the pullouts due to safety concerns. I would expect that once the burn out operations take place, there will probably be intermittent road closures.
