Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong upper level low pressure system moved over the parts of the Central Plains and over the combined Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles as well as the rest of the Oklahoma Panhandle. This system brought a strong cold front at the surface early in the day on Friday the 14th of January. Sustained winds reached 40 plus mph across multiple counties in the area. With drought conditions persisting across the area, these high winds fueled a couple of wildfires as well as created reduced visibilities due to blowing dust. One of fires in the area threatened the town of Stinnett, TX. Wind gust upwards of 58 to 68 mph were recorded across the combined Panhandles during the afternoon into evening on the 14th. Over night winds continued strong with some areas gusting over 60 mph until the early morning hours on the 15th in some areas. Extreme drought conditions along with strong southwesterly winds and low relative humidity values contributed to a large wildfire which occurred in the central Texas Panhandle.
