Wildlandfires can be unpredictable, and you want whatever help you can get to track their behavior. The Supply Cache stocks high-quality fire weather instruments tailored to the task of measuring fire weather conditions. This is why we carry Kestrel fire weather meters, psychrometers, fire weather instrument kits, and more.

We carry Kestrel fire weather meters; an indispensable tool for gauging current fire weather conditions. A Kestrel will allow you to determine the barometric pressure, your current altitude, relative humidity, heat stress index, and so much more. We also carry Kestrel RH calibration kits which allow you to recalibrate your Kestrel meter in the field.

We even carry replacement psychrometer thermometer tubes and replacement wicks amongst our collection of fire weather instruments and accessories. Get the fire weather tools you need now and continue shopping to find all the wildland fire gear that you need!

Weld County is just over 4,000 square miles in size. It can be snowing in one part of the county and sunny and dry in another. That's why we put together this helpful list of links to help you find information regarding road conditions and adverse weather impacts.

The best place to find current road conditions and weather impacts for county-maintained roads during a snow event is on our Facebook and Twitter platforms. The information shared on these platforms originates from our Public Works Department and our Office of Emergency Management.

The Weld County Public Works Snow and Ice Control page breaks down the snow routes for county-maintained roads as well as provides contact information for municipal contacts, and answers some common questions regarding the county's snow removal plan.

The Weld County homepage will feature a banner across the top, if county offices are closed due to inclement weather. This information will also be posted to our Facebook and Twitter feeds as well.

The Weld County Office of Emergency Management webpage provides a link to sign up for CodeRED, the county's alert system that sends emails, texts and calls to addresses within a specific area due to an emergency. Through CodeRED, you can also sign up to receive address specific alerts from the National Weather Service, if you select that option.

And for all types of emergency preparedness tips, visit our 12 Months of Preparedness webpage. Tip #10 shares information about how to create an emergency preparedness kit for your car as well as provides some tips about driving on snowy roads.

Follow the Colorado Department of Transportation's website and social media for current road conditions on state highways, including traffic cams and traction law information, travel alerts statewide and plow locations.

The National Weather Service website is helpful for localized weather forecasts, updates and alerts across the country. Just add in your zip code on the homepage for information specific to your location.

Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected across portions of the central/northern Plains Sunday while heavy to excessive rainfall may bring flooding to northern Minnesota and the Tennessee Valley. Dry and windy conditions will bring elevated to critical fire weather across parts of the Great Basin while dry thunderstorms may lead to new wildfire starts in the northern Rockies. Read More >

NOAA's Weather and Climate Toolkit (WCT) is free, platform independent software distributed from NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI). The WCT allows the visualization and data export of weather and climate data, including Radar, Satellite and Model data. The WCT also provides access to weather/climate web services provided from NCEI and other organizations.

The WCT provides tools for background maps, animations and basic filtering. The export of images and movies is provided in multiple formats. The data export feature supports conversion of data to a variety of common formats including GeoJSON, KMZ, Shapefile, Well-Known Text, GeoTIFF, ESRI Grid and Gridded NetCDF. These data export features promote the interoperability of weather and climate information with various scientific communities and common software packages such as ArcGIS, Google Earth, MatLAB, QGIS, R and many more. Advanced data export support for Google Earth enables the 2-D and 3D export of rendered data and isosurfaces.

The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Past Weather Tool allows users to search for historical temperature, precipitation, snowfall, and snow depth data for individual weather stations across the United States, as well as many international locations. Stations are part of the GHCN (Global Historical Climatology Network)-Daily dataset.

All stations are part of the GHCN (Global Historical Climatology Network)-Daily dataset. GHCN-Daily data may lag by a few days due to a comprehensive set of quality assurance checks. Only data with blank quality flags (i.e., that did not fail any quality assurance checks) are returned.

Radiosondes are our primary source of upper-air data. At least twice per day, radiosondes are tied to weather balloons and are launched in 92 locations across the United States. In its two hour trip, the radiosonde floats to the upper stratosphere where it collects and sends back data every second about air pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and wind direction. During severe weather, we usually launch weather balloons more frequently to collect additional data about the storm environment.

Get degree day results for all the base temperatures used in NEWA tools using physical weather station data. Select the location, date range, base temperature, and formula to get the accumulated degree days and a chart plotting degree day accumulations over time. This tool focuses on recent data and includes the 5-day forecast.

If you don't find a nearby NEWA station, try this Growing Degree Day (GDD) Calculator provided by Cornell University partner program Climate Smart Farming (CSF). The CSF GDD calculator uses interpolated (estimated) temperature data, instead of on-farm microclimate data, to provide current season accumulation with historical climate comparisons.

Hosted by the University at Albany, this collection of 126 weather stations across New York State provides weather data from every county and borough. Data includes temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, pressure, solar radiation, snow depth, and soil information. Ten stations send data to NEWA.

Hosted by Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station and brought to you by the Office of the NJ State Climatologist, this website provides tabular data, maps, charts, and analyses of the weather and climate of NJ. All their weather stations send data to NEWA.

This site provides temperature and precipitation generated by the National Weather Service (NWS) Climate Prediction Center and shows the percent probability for normal, above normal or below normal conditions.

Find your National Weather Service (NWS) forecast on this page (example is for Geneva, NY). Enter your location in the upper left-hand corner box. Interact with this tool to view current conditions, 4-day forecast details, and a map to adjust the specific forecast location.

These National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts provide up-to-date information about temperature, dewpoint, wind speed, etc, for the US, state or region, as well as access to several other products (e.g. satellite, radar, air quality).

Hosted by the National Weather Service (NWS) and generated in graphical and tabular formats by the Climate Prediction Center, this page provides access to several drought monitoring products and historical records that use the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) and Crop Moisture Index (CMI).

Developed by the NOAA Climate Prediction Center and hosted by the National Weather Service (NWS), this page depicts and documents current large-scale tends of drought based on statistical and dynamical forecasts.

Jointly prepared by the U.S. Department of Commerce, NOAA, and the USDA, the WWCB provides information on weather, climate and agricultural developments worldwide, along with detailed charts and tables of agrometeorological information.
