episode_narrativeJanuary 1 Wind and Wildfire Event Summary - A potent upper level trough affected much of the Southern Plains on New Year's Day. The trough resulted in widespread high winds over the region, where intense short-term drought conditions existed. The wind combined with the exceptionally dry conditions to result in a historic outbreak of wildfires over eastern New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma.High and frequently severe winds began to blow over the west Texas South Plains by late morning. These winds persisted through the mid afternoon hours, and resulted in widespread blowing dust and one injury. At least a dozen wind-driven wildfires were sparked over the South Plains. Four of the wildfires were significant, and resulted in the loss of property and three injuries. The winds and fires on the 1st combined to result in four injuries and estimated property losses that exceeded $350,000 .
