This is a tool that anyone can use to track potential growth of active wildfires. Great vegetation mapping, too. It's called #PyreCast. Thanks to @wildland_zko for his insights on what the model does well and where we need to be skeptical. kcra.com/article/pyrecast-fo… @kcranews

Like all of our current models, Pyrecast falls short in dealing with effects of inversions and our inability to accurately predict when they’ll break, so it does best when we have conditions which clear out the inversion for an extended period of time. /3
