 Fire Weather Station Forecast (FWM, FXUS63 KLMK)

The National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS) is a quantitative means for evaluating the fire danger across vast areas.  This complex model of fuel and weather parameters processes daily weather observations and fuel moisture as input, and fire managers receive numeric output danger over a given area area.

Fire Weather Station forecasts are routinely issued during the fire season, which extends from February 15 through April 30, and from October 1 through December 15.  The station forecast provides specific information on expected weather, temperature, humidity, maximum and minimum values, and lightning activity levels. The station forecast is issued only for Mammoth Cave, near Bowling Green, Kentucky.
