| episode_narrative | A strong cold front brought high winds, blowing dust, and a wildfire to Northwest Kansas. The high winds led to some wind damage across the area. In addition, the winds caused widespread blowing dust with zero visibility, which resulted in at least 2 accidents on area roadways. Finally, as the winds brought down power lines in Weskan, a wildfire began and rapidly spread. The fire was so large that fire departments from neighboring counties were asked to respond. |
| event_narrative | Wildfire started just north of the town of Weskan. Cause was power lines snapped due to high winds with the cold front. Fire ran 7 miles to the southeast and reached approximately three quarters of a mile wide at times. Fire was detected by GOES-16 imagery as well as radar. At least two structures were lost along with numerous power poles. Damage to railroad and railroad bridge also noticed by NWS Employee passing through a few days later. |
