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 fell into the mid and upper 20s in wind protected areas of Kenedy County. At the cooperative observing station east of Sarita, temperatures fell to 28F, and were likely below freezing for several hours. Similar readings, perhaps a degree or two lower, were reported at the Armstrong cooperative observing station in the Linn/San Manuel remote automated weather station in the wildlife refuge in the south central portion of the county.
