What is needed?
We are unclear on what time the start up indices should reflect. It seems that the start up indices are associated with the date/hour of the first observation in the weather csv, regardless of when you specify the start of a projection. Example: if you start a projection at 1700, but given weather data for the entire day (i.e., starting at 0100), and provide starting indices meant for 1700 (mostly FFMC), then this starting FFMC is used to start the 0100 calculations and not the 1700 projection. Is there clarification on what day/time our starting indices should reflect?
How will this improve the project or tool?
This will allow users to enter the proper period to align with the weather and/or time period they are doing predictions for.
