Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeDespite recent snowfall over the past week, fuels became receptive enough, as minimum afternoon relative humidity values dropped to near 10 percent and downsloping northwest winds increased to around 30 to 40 mph with gusts near 50 mph, to allow for a wildfire to start in the southeastern section of Amarillo Texas.
