The scenario date is the date that Phoenix uses when running a model.
Exceptions to the rule
Some inputs, such as Fire History and Supplementary Wildfire History, impact the scenario date of the model. For example, if a burn was dated 01/06/24 and the scenario date was 02/06/24, it would have a different result than if the Scenario date was 01/01/25 because there have been 6 months of regrowth.
