| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Abnormally hot and dry weather prevailed over the west Texas South Plains region during the first half of June. The month started with a span of six consecutive days that saw 100 degree temperatures across the area, and fourteen of the month's first sixteen days brought triple digit heat. Daytime temperature maxima reached record values at Childress and Lubbock on five occasions, including a 110 degree record set on the 3rd at Childress. Breezy winds accompanied the unseasonably warm weather, which was some fifteen to twenty degrees above climatological averages. In fact, winds were 5 mph higher than climate averages for the same period. ||Blowing dust lofted by the wind combined with heat to cause extensive and widespread damages to young cotton crops across the South Plains. Local newspapers and agricultural officials described the cotton as scorched, and reported that many dryland crops were wiped out. Lubbock city and Texas Department of Transportation officials even blamed damage to a city street on black top expansion from excessive heat. No heat related injuries or fatalities were reported.||By mid-month, portions of the southwestern South Plains, including: Cochran, Lynn, Terry, and Yoakum Counties, experienced severe (D2) drought conditions per the U.S. Drought Monitor. The magnitude of drought related impacts quickly subsided by the end of June, however, as a prolonged period of widespread convective rainfalls began to impact the region. |
