| episode_narrative | High winds occurred behind a cold front on this Monday afternoon. Northwest winds were sustained between 30 and 40 mph. Wind gusts between 45 and 55 mph were common. The highest gust observed was 59 mph near Lebanon. Blowing dust was visible everywhere, generally reducing the visibility to 3 to 7 miles. Satellite imagery showed the dust originated in eastern Colorado, and it was transported northeastward just ahead of a cold front. However, winds behind the front picked up additional dust. These high winds combined with extremely low relative humidity (RH) values to create dangerous fire weather conditions. Afternoon minimum RH values were between 7 and 15%. A significant wildfire occurred in Rooks County, very close to Stockton.||At dawn, a deep low pressure system (983 mb) was over South Dakota with a warm front extending east into the Great Lakes, and a cold front extending southwest to Arizona. A dryline extended south into the warm sector, through western Kansas to New Mexico. As the day progressed, both the dryline and cold front swept through the region as the low occluded and deepened further to 978 mb. In the upper-levels, a trough was over the Western U.S., with a ridge in the East. During the day, a strong shortwave trough over Utah lifted northeast out of the base of the western trough and into Nebraska and South Dakota. |
| event_narrative | This fire started shortly before noon CST on March 6th about 3 miles west-southwest of Stockton. The fire spread east, getting within a mile of southern portions of Stockton, also threatening storage tanks of diesel fuel and fertilizer. A frontal boundary passed through, switched wind direction and pushed the fire just off to the southeast. In total, this fire burned approximately 10,000 acres before being extinguished about 3 miles south-southeast of Stockton. One home was destroyed by the fire. |
