| 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 upper 20s in rural areas of western Hidalgo County. At the Linn/San Manuel remote automated weather station in the wildlife refuge in the extreme western portion of the county near the Hidalgo County line, eye level temperatures bottomed out at 26 degrees, initially reaching 32F just before midnight on the 13th. Farther east, at Raymondville, temperatures remained just above freezing, but one can infer several hours of sub freezing temperatures in rural areas west of Federal Highway 77, and perhaps other locations just east of the highway as well. |
