Description:The Automated Fire Weather Forecast (AFWF) is a computer program designed to forecast seven of the eight fire weather forecast parameters issued daiIy during the fire-weather season at the Boise Weather Service Forecast Office (WSFO). The program uses the Limited Fine Mesh (LFM) prognosis and various' dynamic meteorological equations and forecast studies to compute the forecast. The chief advantage of the AFWF is that it produces fire weather forecast guidance at least four hours before the main fire weather forecast is issued to the fire-control agencies. This gives the fire-weather forecaster plenty of time to analyze and process the guidance forecast and extra time to concentrate on the more difficult forecast problems.
