The forest fire guys have really complex ways to determine the threat in a given area. They plug all sorts of data into models and make predictions from that. In Texas the TFS has a whole Division within the Fire Section on predictive analysis. It's not a silly question and it is a very complex science.

If we continue the "dry" spell until summer will our fire danger be more dangerous even though we have received the over-amounts of rainfall? I know it seems a silly question but the ground is pretty saturated here in Nor-cal.
