National Weather Service Fire Weather Interactive Maps
The server hosting the previous National Fire Weather Web Site is no longer functioning, and will not be replaced. This site will now serve as the new official National Weather Web Page.
The ability of the NWS to provide digital and graphic fire weather
products and services over the internet continues to increase. Concurrently, the need for
improved fire weather information on the internet by land management and fire suppression
agencies also continues to increase.
Multiple federal fire weather user agencies have expressed a
need for an improved national fire weather web page that includes more interactive graphics.
OS/22 Fire and Public Weather Branch will test a new, highly interactive national fire weather
web page from October 2, 2009 to March 1, 2010. Because existing fire weather information is
bundled and/or presented in new formats, the national fire weather web page is considered a new
experimental service.
A key component to the new national fire weather page is its interactive map that allows you to examine critical fire weather information at the national level initially, but quickly provide you access to local and regional fire weather data as well.
On the interactive map, move to any location (zoom in/out, drag mouse, etc.) and left click on your point of interest. A bubble will appear at that point and give you access to a wide variety of information relevant to that data point. Information includes the fire weather forecast, a 7-Day point forecast, hourly weather graph, and digital/tabular weather information. If any fire weather watches, red flag warnings, or hazardous weather outlooks have been issued, links to this critical information appear in the bubble. In addition, you can view the fire weather page and activity planner from the local National Weather Service (NWS) office responsible for that particular point. Farsite data is also available along with the ability to examine MesoWest observations within a 50 mile radius of that point. You can also submit a spot forecast to the local NWS office for the point you have selected.
