episode_narrativeHigh based thunderstorms were able to develop atop a deeply mixed and very hot boundary layer. Development of this activity was due to surface convergence along a weak surface trough that stretched from Denver City (Yoakum County) to Childress (Childress County). Higher instability over the extreme southeastern Texas Panhandle allowed for stronger storms in this area. One of these storms became severe southeast of Turkey causing severe wind gusts. Additionally, lightning started wildfires in Motley County burned approximately 3000 acres before being contained.
event_narrativeLocal broadcast media reported that lightning ignited several large wildfires in Motley County around 1830 CST. Although no structures were damaged and there were no injuries, nearly 3000 acres were burned before the wildfires were contained on the 14th.
