The Experimental Weather Planner is an interactively derived product. The National Weather Service in Salt Lake City produces a suite of gridded weather forecasts. The forecast area that is the Salt Lake Fire Weather district is divided up into 2.5 by 2.5 kilometer grid boxes. There are 29,500 of these grid boxes in the Salt Lake forecast area, for which a different forecast is created. This suite is comprised of various sensible weather elements including, among others: 1) Temperature, 2) Relative Humidity, 3) Dew Point, 4) Wind, 5) Chance of Precipitation and 6) Clearing Index. When you enter a location and weather "window" and hit <enter>, the gridded forecast database is queried for the nearest grid point to your location. The Planner then looks at the forecast data for times when the data matches the weather "window" over the next seven days. Output is displayed in a timeline format which can be zoomed in to see three-hour detail. Look for additional fire weather forecast products in the near future, and as always comments are welcome.
