I did a bit of digging this evening and found at least the beginnings of fire weather information we might find helpful. Like Mr. Halverson was saying, there's a ton of information, and it'll be difficult to take all of it into account. However, we probably don't need to look at all of it (e.g. high winds keep us from flying anyway)

NIFC Rocky Mountain predictive info - http://gacc.nifc.gov/rmcc/predictive/
USFS fire weather - http://www.fs.fed.us/fire/links/links_fire_weather.html

This looked like a pretty interesting map, and the 'Fuels status by zone' link off this page might be a helpful metric.

If we can determine the zone(s) we're in and the monitoring station ID(s) for the region of the Grasslands our launch sites are in, it looks quite doable to increase our awareness of our surroundings and further mitigate the risk of another incident. I'd think these are numbers the USFS can help provide.

I'll do some more digging. There a some other maps that are just images, but probably have helpful data behind them.
