episode_narrativeWindy and very dry conditions followed a cold front during the afternoon of the 31st. Sustained northwest winds 20 to 25 mph, gusting up to 35 mph in some locations, combining with relative humidity dropping to 10 percent or lower, increased the likelihood of rapid wild fire spread. At least two notable fires developed and rapidly spread during the afternoon. Despite welcome rains during the middle of the month, the western portion of the lower Rio Grande Valley remained in moderate drought at month's end.
