2026 Planned Updates

Map & Visualization

  • Map Layer Loading: Group layers now enable progressively as they load, with clearer loading and error indicators and a refresh option for more reliable data display.

  • WFA Desktop: Esri SDK 200: The WFA desktop application now runs on Esri SDK 200, replacing the previous SDK version for improved performance and stability.

  • Dynamic Incident Icons: Incident icons now scale dynamically based on incident size, giving immediate visual context directly on the map.

  • WFA Desktop Compass: An on-screen compass has been added to the WFA desktop map view to aid orientation and navigation.

  • Weather Display Options: Weather data visualization now includes Color and Class Break rendering options for more granular analysis.

Weather & Risk Modeling

  • LFMC Chart Range Expanded: The Live Fuel Moisture Content (LFMC) chart now displays values up to 400% for all customers, extending coverage for extreme conditions.

  • Wind Gust Percentile Layers: Wind Gust Percentiles are now available as WFA territory weather layers for wind risk assessment.

  • Windy Cameras Integration: Windy camera feeds are now available to all US customers, adding real-time observational data to the map.

  • FireSim Custom Weather Files: The FireSim Custom Weather CSV workflow has been standardized, with a consistent file format for downloading, editing, and re-uploading to rerun simulations.

  • GOES Hotspot Coverage: The Hotspot layer now incorporates data from both GOES 18 and GOES 19 for broader, more current satellite coverage.

Asset & Simulation Management

  • Cancel Simulations: Running simulations can now be cancelled mid-process, giving users direct control over resource usage.

  • Rename Simulations: Simulations can now be renamed for easier organization and reference.

  • Asset Risk and FPI 2.0: Asset risk calculations are now linked to the full FPI 2.0 metrics suite.

  • AOI Filtering for Integrations: Area of Interest (AOI) filtering now applies across all key integrations: Incidents, Hotspots, FireGuard, and Simulations.

User Controls & Configuration

  • Notification Management: Users can now select which WFA notifications they receive via a new toggle in settings.

  • Error Notification Control: Error notifications can be disabled individually for users who prefer a less interrupted workflow.

  • Incident Label Preference: Incidents can now be labeled by name rather than code by default, with a toggle in settings to switch between the two.
