| episode_narrative | The Antelope Wildfire was first spotted on Tuesday afternoon, September 14, following a lightning strike which ignited an area of grass and sage on the northeast slope of Mount Washburn in Yellowstone National Park. Unseasonably warm temperatures coupled with dry and windy conditions doubled the size of the fire on Sunday, September 19. The northwest corner of the fire initially threatened the Tower Fall area but no closures were needed. Over the course of the next week, however, the Grand Loop Road was closed in the vicinity of Tower Fall due to the wildfire. Fire growth was consistent over the next week. A ridge of high pressure over the Great Basin allowed for near-record and record warmth from September 25-28. On Tuesday afternoon, September 28, the fire surged across the Yellowstone River and up a west-facing mountain slope and boosted the fire's size by 1,300 acres. The wildfire was responsible for scorching nearly 4,100 acres by the end of September. More information on the conclusion of this wildfire is contained in the October 2010 Storm Data publication. |
