Forecast Performance

How our Missouri fire-danger forecasts have compared to actual observed conditions, day by day.

What is being compared?

Each comparison pairs a forecast for a weather station and hour with the observation recorded at that same station and hour.

When is it measured?

Reports cover the primary fire-weather window from 10 AM through 10 PM Central and are generated after the day ends.

How should I read it?

Lower error is better. A positive bias means forecasts ran higher than observations; a negative bias means they ran lower.
