The Pyregence project consortium has developed under a California Energy Commission EPIC grant a modeling framework and easy to access web-based software tools (PyreCast - https://pyrecast.org) to improve wildfire situational awareness for electric utilities, wildfire professionals, and the public. 

The PyreCast system provides three wildfire forecasting tools applicable in the continental US including:
1) 8-day fire weather forecasts
2) 5-day fire risk forecast (California only)
3) 14-day fire spread forecast

Please register to join us for a webinar where our development team will demonstrate how to use PyreCast, discuss the technology behind wildfire forecasting, and answering your questions.

This webinar will cover:
- An overview of PyreCast forecasting tools
- The methodology/models and sources of inputs used to generate fire forecasts
- Current predictive capabilities and forecast skill will be evaluated by comparing modeled and observed fire perimeters
- Areas where additional research is needed, including limitations of underlying models
