CHANGES
TO THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES ANNUAL FIRE WEATHER OPERATING
PLAN
Following are changes to the common section of the National Weather
Service Northern Rockies Annual Fire Weather Operating Plan.
- A new NWS Western Region Fire Weather page with a standard format will enable traveling fire management personnel to access information quickly and efficiently. Each tab also has a section for local configuration. Please change any bookmarks to the old Fire Weather Page, which is no longer supported. As Riverton is in NWS Central Region, their Fire Weather page will not be in this format.
- Northern Rockies Predictive Services would like to be notified when a Fire Weather Watch or Red Flag Warning has been issued. If they are not in the office, a message on their answering machine is suggested. They can be reached at 406-329-4703/4875.
- NWS offices will be installing a new software for the product generators which will replace the headline of Fire Weather Watch/Red Flag Warning with "URGENT -- FIRE WEATHER MESSAGE." See Example Red Flag Warning under Warning Products.
