episode_narrativeA weak surface trough and wind shift moved slowly southward across the Central Plains during the afternoon hours of the 18th. Ahead of this front, winds veered significantly, and as mixing took place during the day, stronger winds aloft mixed down to the surface. With strong southwesterly winds, and unseasonable warmth and dryness, conditions were primed for wildfires. Two of the more significant fires occurred in Logan county near the town of Guthrie. Several structures were damaged or destroyed, and interstate 35 had to be shut down for a time as dense smoke was making travel dangerous.
event_narrativeTwo wildfires occurred near the town of Meridian in Logan county. The source of the fires remains unknown. With very dry, breezy and mild conditions, the fires spread rapidly, consuming around 1500 acres before they were contained. The fires were responsible for destroying one home, and damaging several barns and outbuildings in rural portions of Logan county. In addition, the fire forced Oklahoma Highway Patrol to close a section of interstate 35 for several hours, as smoke was resulting in dangerous driving conditions. No injuries were reported.
