Description:"In the spring of 2000, NOAA's National Weather Service (NWS) in Burlington, Vermont (BTV) assumed responsibility of fire weather forecast operations across much of Vermont and northern New York. Past fire weather events in Vermont are examined for two purposes: to furnish the fire weather user community with quality products and services, and to provide BTV operational forecasters with a better understanding of local fire weather processes. We develop a climatology of fire occurrence in Vermont from 1991 to 2001 that displays seasonal and geographical distribution, typical causes, and acreage impacted by the fires. In addition, composite charts depicting synoptic scale weather conditions during Vermont's peak fire weather season are examined. Finally, monthly and seasonal precipitation deficiencies are evaluated to determine if any correlation exists between antecedent dry conditions and peak fire seasons"--Introduction.
