The fire occurred during a protracted period of hot and dry weather, and a drought that started in the Spring and continued into Fall.  It was pushed by strong winds.

At one point, more than 1,600 residences and nearly 3,000 people were under evacuation orders, including the small town of Jamestown.  By the end of the month, the Cal-Wood fire had consumed 10,105 acres, and became the largest wildfire in Boulder County history, surpassing Fourmile Fire in 2010.

Areas across the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles saw drought conditions worsening going into the month of October as September was very dry. These conditions continued to degrade across the combined Panhandles going into late October with no new rainfall during the first three weeks of the month.  Soil conditions were very poor to poor. Some farmers were waiting for some rain to plant winter wheat while others planted hoping for the moisture to come eventually. The Panhandles needed some soil moisture badly in order for winter crops to emerge and grow. The saving grace for these crops were a late month early winter event that provided moisture in the form of sleet, freezing rain, and snow. This late month event did help some areas see a one category improvement in the US Drought Monitor by the end of the month. Ranchers were still being impacted by very poor to poor pasture and rangeland conditions.
