Wider weather episode

An upper level trough out of the Great Basin area did help amplify southwesterly flow to the area, but we still managed to keep minimum RH values in the 30 to 40 percent range. Conditions were still dry enough that a wildfire (unknown start) was able to grow to 300 acres in Wheeler County. N of Allision, 2 miles east on Reydon hwy.
