| episode_narrative | Very strong wind speeds aloft were able to mix down to the surface on January 15th. Wind gusts peaked around 60 MPH in the north and northeast combined OK and TX Panhandles between 10 AM and noon. Sustained winds reached 30 to 45 MPH across the entire combined Panhandles. Winds were out of the north to northwest and had been strong in eastern Colorado before coming south into the Panhandles. With ongoing drought conditions in southeast Colorado a lot of dust a plume of dust capable of reducing visibility to �� mile or less spread south through west-central Oklahoma Panhandle and spread all the to parts of I-40 around Groom, Texas. Also, the high winds fed two wildfires one west of Goodwell, OK that jumped Highway 54 just south of Goodwell and blocked traffic for some time. The other fire was in southeast Amarillo Proper in Randall County. This fire managed to take out one house with it and needed several fire agencies working together to get it contained. Fires would have been way worse with these winds had fuels been any drier. |
| event_narrative | Trained spotter reported visibility being reduced to a quarter mile or less with the strong winds and blowing dust that came in from Colorado. |
