| episode_narrative | A wildfire occurred east of Webster State Park on this Friday afternoon. This fire started on Highway 24 between county roads 11 and 12, and then spread approximately 5 miles to the southeast. The fire was contained by 8 PM, though crews monitored hot spots into the next day. A faulty lightning arrester on a power pole was suspected as the cause of the fire. A portion of Highway 183 was closed for a time, and mutual aid was provided from neighboring counties as well as private companies and farmers. The city of Stockton issued an evacuation order for the south part of town.||An anomalously warm air mass was in place, and the region was in the warm sector of a low pressure center over Ontario, Canada. A very weak cold front extended southwest from the low across the Northern Plains at 6 AM CST. This front was moving rapidly south, and it crossed Rooks County around noon. Northwest winds increased significantly behind the front. The peak wind gust at the Stockton airport was 55 mph measured at 1:02 PM CST. A high temperature in the lower 80s occurred just after frontal passage, and this was over 30 degrees above normal. A record high of 83 occurred at Hill City, one county to the west. With dewpoints falling into the lower 30s, this resulted in relative humidity values in the middle to upper teens. |
| event_narrative | This wildfire burned approximately 3,500 acres, spread across an area from roughly 5 miles southeast of Webster State Park to 3 miles east of Webster State Park. Damage from the wildfire included one hunting cabin being burned down, siding melted on the side of a barn and fencing damage. Three homes were threatened, but were not damaged. |
