Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeChilly 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_narrativeMinimum temperatures likely fell into the upper 20s in rural areas of northern and central Starr County, particularly in slightly lower areas in the northeast, central, and southwest portions of the county. At the Falcon Lake remote automated weather station, just north of the Starr/Zapata County line, minimum temperatures reached 28 degrees, with nearly 5 hours at or below 32F.
