Thunderstorms in Kerrville were reported to have contributed to erratic fire behavior, further intensifying the already dry conditions.

Although March wasn’t marked by dramatic weather fluctuations, the state of the weather was heavily influenced by dry conditions. At the beginning of the month, there was very little rainfall, setting the stage for several wildfires across the region, particularly the Crabapple Fire, located just north of Fredericksburg. The continued dry conditions across the state and a lack of rainfall contributed to the increase in fire danger and drought.
