Today's Observed Fire Danger

Observed fire danger for the state of Missouri

Today's observed fire danger may not represent the day's actual peak. Fire danger is a higher-resolution metric than Missouri's current station network can display for both forecasts and observations. We calculate observed fire danger every 15 minutes, then combine those observations into an all-day metric for comparison with our forecast.
