| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Chilly air originating in western Canada settled across all of Deep South Texas overnight on January 13th into the early morning of January 14th, as high pressure settled in. Clear skies, calm winds, and dry air allowed temperatures to plummet after sunset, reaching the lower and mid 30s in normally colder pockets by midnight, and falling below freezing between midnight and 3 AM on the 14th. Typically colder pockets had more than 8 hours of subfreezing temperatures; in general, based on the locus of observations in the region, 3 to 6 hours of sub-freezing temperatures occurred in larger, generally rural areas of Deep South Texas. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Minimum temperatures fell into the mid or upper 20s in rural areas along and near the Rio Grande early on the 14th. Low temperatures in the mid 20s were observed at the sheltered Zapata Airport, several miles northeast of the city of Zapata. However, other locations farther south near the Starr County line also fell near or below 32F. At the Falcon Lake remote automated weather station, minimum temperatures reached 28 degrees, with nearly 5 hours at or below 32. |
