episode_narrativeStrong winds developed over South Texas the night of January 21st through the daytime of January 22nd after the passage of a cold front. The surface low associated with the front was unusually deep this far south and created a very strong pressure gradient over the region. As daytime heating progressed, stronger winds several thousand feet off the surface mixed down to the surface. The morning sounding at Corpus Christi showed a wind of 60 knots (around 70 mph) 3000 feet above the surface! As a result, winds gusted over 50 mph for some locations across the Coastal Bend, while gusts greater than 40 mph occurred across the rest of south Texas. Several wildfires occurred in the afternoon across the Coastal Bend but were contained to less than 100 acres.
event_narrativeA large fire moved across a farm around Sinton on the 22nd. The flames consumed land off of County Road 38A southwest of Sinton. A couple of farm houses and several goats were lost to the fire.
