Monthly fire weather forecasts are not the fire planner's magic bullets, but they do provide scientifically based, long-range forecasts. Now available in color via modem, monthly fire weather forecasts can provide fire managers with a quick and easy planning tool. Researchers at the Fire Meteorology Research Work Unit in Riverside, California, prepare the forecast package that is based on the monthly forecast of 700 millibar heights issued by the United States National Weather Service's Climate Prediction Center in Washington, D.C. The forecasts are not the fire planner's magic bullets, but they do provide scientifically based, long-range forecasts. A fire weather forecast characterizes the weather-induced fire potential for the continental United States as an average during a particular month. |
