episode_narrativePeriods of high westerly winds developed this morning and afternoon well south of a vigorous low pressure system in eastern Colorado. Fortunately, blowing dust was not a significant problem over the region as the strongest winds avoided the major dust source regions. By late afternoon, a narrow band of thunderstorms drifted south from the southwest TX Panhandle and resulted in a convective wind gust to 61 mph near Floydada. These storms also produced welcome soaking rains from Friona and Dimmitt southeast to Plainview. ||Late this afternoon, strong westerly winds promoted the spread of a wildfire in northern Dickens County. Preliminary evidence from the Texas Forest Service indicates two wildfires developed west of Afton before combining into a single fire that consumed at least 3100 acres. In addition to closing some rural roads, this fire prompted a voluntary evacuation of residents from Afton. Fortunately, no structures were damaged from this wildfire.
