Weather forecast office sourcewfo_sourceCOOP Observer
Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong cold front swept across Deep South Texas and the Lower Rio Grande Valley during the overnight and early morning of December 9th and 10th, bringing periods of sustained gale force winds to the Laguna Madre and adjacent Gulf of Mexico waters out 20 nm, as well as a prolonged period of sustained winds of 30 mph with frequent gusts between above 45 mph, generally between 9 PM on the 9th and 6 AM on the 10th, most pronounced near the coast.||Behind the front, temperatures struggled through the 50s despite ample sunshine on the 10th, setting the stage for the first freeze of the young winter the following morning.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeClear skies and light winds allowed temperatures to plummet across large portions of the King Ranch in Kenedy County during the morning of December 11. While two cooperative stations are normally cooler than most, even these stations were significantly cold enough to justify a more widespread freeze. At the retreat 7 miles east of Sarita, a record low for the date of 25F was set, and the observing post at Armstrong, about 20 miles to the south, dipped below 30F.
