 Drought and Precipitation Monitoring

Drought Monitor- Comprehensive site from the National Drought Mitigation Center.

New Mexico SNOTEL Sites - Daily measurements and percentages of normal of the snowpack in the high mountains of  New Mexico and Colorado.  The extent of the snowpack and how early in the spring it melts are factors in the length and severity of the fire season in New Mexico.

Weekly Regional Precipitation Analysis - Climate Prediction Center. Updated every Monday morning. (Note: This analysis is based on preliminary and unchecked data.)

Palmer Drought Index - Climate Prediction Center.

Crop Moisture Index - Climate Prediction Center.

Precipitation accumulation - 1,7,30 and 90 days from CPC

 Fire Behavior, Danger and Fuels Information

Wildland Fire Situation Reports - Updated Daily

    Wildland Fire Assessment System (WFAS) - National maps of selected fire weather and fire danger components of the National Fire Danger Rating System (NFDRS).  Also has maps of Keetch-Byram and Palmer drought indices.

    Fire Danger and Potential Graphics from WFAS - Updated Each Evening

    Note:  Forecasts may not depict accurate fire danger between October and April.

    * The experimental fire potential index map uses satellite derived Relative Greenness, an NFDRS fuel model map (both 1 km resolution), and an interpolated 10-hour timelag map as inputs to weight the relative influence of live and dead vegetation to fire potential. The scale ranges from 0 (low) to 100 (high).

    Dead Fuel Moisture - Updated Each Evening

    Timelag Fuel Size (diameter)
    10 hour 1/4 to 1 inch
    100 hour 1 to 3 inches
    1000 hour greater then 3 inches
