| episode_narrative | Persistent high pressure over the central Gulf of Mexico, combined with the semi-permanent trough of low pressure across west Texas into northern Mexico, continued to result in breezy to windy conditions, along with hot temperatures, in Deep South Texas. The combination of these weather conditions with critically dry fuels, and afternoon humidity falling below 40 percent likely aided the rapid spread of a wild fire in north central Jim Hogg County during the late morning and early afternoon of April 30th. Southeast winds gusted over 30 mph at times during the morning, and may have contributed to the spread rate. |
| event_narrative | A wild fire rapidly spread out of control near Randado, between State Highway 16 and Farm-to-Market Road 649. The fire, which spread to 500 acres, was eventually contained. Assistance in fighting the blaze was provided by Texas Forest Service, Helo-Tanker, Air Strike Team, U.S. Parks and Wildlife; Jim Hogg, Zapata, and Starr County Fire Deparments responded, as did the Roma Volunteer Fire Department (Starr). Texas Forest Service sent four bulldozers to help put out the fire. |
