| episode_narrative | An upper level storm system moved out of the Rockies causing a surface low pressure system to strengthen over the eastern Texas panhandle. In response, strong winds spread over the West Texas region during the afternoon hours on May 24. The strong winds lead to several wind-driven grass fires as well as a couple localized high wind gusts. Reduced visibilities were reported across the region with three-quarter mile visibility reported at Lubbock International Airport at 14:53 CST.||The first high wind gust was observed at a KVII-TV Schoolnet site in Hart (Castro County). The site recorded a measured gust of 58 mph at 13:48 CST. A second severe wind gust was observed from the Texas Tech University mesonet site at Reese Center (Lubbock County). The site measured a peak gust of 59 mph at 14:40 CST which was determined to be associated with the passage of a large wind-driven wildfire.||This wildfire at Reese Center destroyed the mesonet site causing $12,000 in damage. Additionally, as the fire passed through the mesonet site, a maximum temperature of 148 degrees Fahrenheit was recorded at 1.5 meters before the sensor failed. The fire also destroyed the anemometer at a height of 10 meters. The Lubbock County Sheriff's Office closed roads near this wildfire due to low visibility within the smoke along with evacuating 30 to 50 residences. This fire burned a total of 1200 acres before being contained at 17:00 CST.||Another wildfire started shortly after the Reese Center fire at 14:45 CST in Garza County ten miles northeast of Post. This wildfire burned 3000 acres before it was contained during the late evening hours. No injuries or property damage were reported. A third wildfire began five miles west of Tulia in Swisher County. Interstate 27 in Swisher County was briefly closed due to low visibility within dense smoke. This wildfire burned 1500 acres before being contained around 21:00 CST. No injuries or property damage were reported. |
