Explosive wildfire growth fueled by 60+ mph wind gusts, low humidity and drought conditions has scorched 155,000 acres across Oklahoma and Kansas, with forecasters warning of continued critical fire

The Texas Panhandle continues to face critical fire weather—strong winds and very low humidity—driving rapid fire growth.

Conditions are ripe for wildfires right now: Warmer-than-normal temperatures, combined with gusty winds and low humidity, are creating a fiery mix in several parts of Texas and prompting a Red Flag Warning in some North Texas counties.

High winds and dry conditions are fueling wildfires around the Texas Panhandle and South Plains. Here's what to know about the 8 Ball, Lavender fires.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller declared an Agricultural Emergency this week following the on-going fires in the Texas Panhandle.

Responders in Pflugerville, Kyle and Travis county are among the crews deployed to the Texas Panhandle and across the state.

Miller urged Texas farmers and food producers to take advantage of the State of Texas Agriculture Relief Fund, or STAR Fund, which assists in agriculture disaster recovery through private donations. He also called on eligible ranchers and agribusinesses to use the state’s free AgriStress & Hay and Feed hotlines.

Wildfires remain active across the Texas Panhandle as another day of strong winds and low humidity keeps fire danger high in the Panhandle and beyond
