Planning

FIRE WEATHER PFM
This application generates a Point Forecast Matrix (PFM) from a digital forecast database. It is intended for planning purposes only and is not intended to replace an official spot weather forecast.


FARSITE (Experimental Fire Behavior Model)

FARSITE is a deterministic model developed and used by land management agencies. FARSITE simulates the spatial and temporal spread and behavior of fires under conditions of heterogeneous terrain, fuels, and weather. Required FARSITE weather input consists of maximum and minimum relative humidity, maximum and minimum temperature, daily precipitation, wind speed and direction and cloud cover. FARSITE is an important tool that fire agencies use to help keep firefighters safe. Pursuant to the NWS mission of saving lives and property, NOAA/NWS forecasters have been manually supplying FARSITE weather input to fire managers for a number of years.


INTERACTIVE WEATHER PLANNER

CAUTION: This application generates products from a digital forecast data base. It is intended to allow a user to define and produce a forecast for general planning purposes only. As any weather or hydrologic event evolves, updated forecasts and warnings are issued by the NWS. Customers are urged to obtain the latest official forecast information prior to engaging in any weather sensitive activity, and to monitor forecasts for updates during such activities

NOTE: The weather planner is NOT intended to replace an official spot forecast!
