Weather Stream

• The Weather Stream section gives you 10 days of weather observations from the WFDSS-selected RAWS. The second to the last row of observations (July 17 in the example below) is the analysis start date and observations. The previous 7 days' (to the start date) observations were used for dead fuel moisture conditioning. The last date is the day after the analysis start date, as required by the model. 
• If you have chosen a date in the past for which to run your analysis, archived weather is used. However, the more likely scenario is starting your analysis for a future date. When that is the case, National Digital Forecast Database (NDFD) values are used to calculate fuel moistures and fire behavior outputs. 

Note: If you are in Alaska where NDFD data is not yet available, BFB and STFB analyses can only be run for dates in the past.
