What will you learn?
An above average snowpack, frequent rains, and below average temperatures have kept fire danger projections for the upcoming season low. However, a possible El Nino type event during late summer may be on the horizon, potentially bringing with it drier fuels conditions and persistent summer conditions through Fall, challenging normal fire season end dates. During this webinar, we’ll explore fire season predictors and climate patterns that might make 2017 one of the more unusual seasons in recent history.
Presenter:
Josh Clark is the meteorologist for the Washington DNR, specializing in fire weather and applications of weather in forecasting fire danger, smoke impacts, and forest health. He manages the state’s remote weather station network and is an IMET-trainee and working on his FF1 taskbook.
