Data notes and limitations

Fire points are reported locations, smoke can be aloft, and station fields are observations rather than forecasts. Older observations are hidden; GACC colors show coordination areas, not hazard levels. Check NWS and AirNow for official information.

What the layers mean

Wildfire incident points: NIFC / WFIGS. GACC areas and PL: public preparedness layer. Weekly drought: U.S. Drought Monitor. Smoke: NOAA HMS. PM2.5: EPA AirNow. Fog, visibility and wind: NOAA Aviation Weather Center. Radar and lightning density: NOAA nowCOAST. Alerts: National Weather Service.

How possible conditions are screened

Recent surface smoke reported at a station, or satellite smoke overhead analyzed within six hours; temperature within 3.6 °F of dewpoint; and wind at or below about 8 mph. These are provisional screening criteria, not a validated super-fog forecast. Satellite smoke may never reach the ground.

Use with caution

Fire points are reported incident locations or approximate positions derived from perimeter-only records, not proof of active flames. Stale records are labeled; boundaries can lag the fire edge. Station wind may differ substantially from wind at a fire. Drought severity is not current fire danger. Super fog can form suddenly between stations; a clear map does not mean clear roads. Always follow official alerts and local agencies. The NWS explains super fog.
