| episode_narrative | A strong low pressure system produced strong downsloping southwest winds of 35 to 50 mph, temperatures near 90 degrees and relative humidities in the single digits. These ingredients produced extremely critical fire weather conditions across West Central Texas that resulted in several large wildfires. A cold front shifted the winds from southwest to north by late afternoon and aided to increase the size of some of the wildfires. |
| event_narrative | A wildfire initiated along the Glasscock and Sterling County line during the morning. This wildfire, narrow in size, continued to sweep rapidly east towards Sterling City. As a southward moving cold front intersected the eastward moving fire near Water Valley, suddenly the narrow flame front expanded in size on the south flank as the winds shifted to the northwest. This large flame front located on the south side allowed the wildfire to expand and spread into Irion County and ended about 4 miles north of Mertzon. |
