Sinopsis

Forecasting lightning activity and its weather effects, built for fire management decisions that matter in the field.

This guide explains how forecasters can estimate lightning activity levels in a forecast area and relate them to nearby weather conditions. It describes a practical method for using radar echoes, precipitation, and storm characteristics to set an index that informs fire danger and response planning.


The approach is grounded in field data from western Montana during the summer of 1965–1967 and shows how observed lightning, radar trends, and precipitation relate to the forecasted level of lightning activity. It emphasizes using a single, conservative index to represent lightning potential and accompanying weather for planning and verification.



  • How the Lightning Activity Level (LAL) guide links cloud-to-ground lightning to radar and precipitation signals.

  • Steps forecasters take to assign daily LAL values and interpret related weather indicators.

  • Guidance on validating forecasts with radar data, pilot reports, and meteorological observations.

  • Practical considerations for applying the method across different forecast areas and seasons.


Ideal for readers who work in fire weather, land management, or storm forecasting and want a tested framework for forecasting lightning-related events.
