A vigorous upper-level low pressure center moved east from southern Colorado across south central Kansas through the late afternoon on Tuesday, June 9, 2020. As it did, a surface low deepened and moved east across Kansas pushing a cold front south across the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles before moving into western Texas. The cold front moved into the Oklahoma Panhandle early in the morning and quickly swept south through through the Texas Panhandle, continuing to move across the region. A strong pressure gradient between the low over Kansas and high pressure surging southeast out of Colorado created very strong winds across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles behind the front, which lasted into the early evening.
Across the Oklahoma Panhandle, sustained winds increased into the 40 to greater than 50 MPH range out of the north to northwest, with gusts mainly in the 58 to 67 MPH range. These strong winds lasted most of the day before finally diminishing from west to east beginning in the late afternoon. Although the relative humidity was only 15 to 35 percent across the western two-thirds of the Oklahoma Panhandle, the high winds and dry fuels associated with continuing moderate to extreme drought in the area led to a high wildfire danger across part of the region.
