Heat and Fire Weather Concerns in the West

Heat will build over the Intermountain West and the Southwest the next couple of days. Lightning from dry thunderstorms can create new fire starts and combined with gusty winds may cause a fire to rapidly grow in Oregon and northern California. Elevated fire weather conditions are also expected in the Great Basin. Flash flooding will be possible in Arizona and west Texas, especially in burn scars. Read More >

Relative Humidity Calculation
Enter in the air temperature (T_air) and dew point temperature (T_dp) in degrees Fahrenheit (^oF) then click on the Calculate RH to compute the relative humidity (RH).
T_air		T_dp

Heat Index Calculation
Enter in the air temperature (T_air) in degrees Fahrenheit and relative humidity (RH) in percent (without the % sign), then click on the Calculate HI to compute the heat index (HI).
T_air	RH	T_dp=
