Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeCold high pressure settled across Deep South Texas on the evening of January 9th, continuing through the early morning of January 10th. Clear skies and light winds allowed temperatures to fall rapidly back into the 30s after sunset. After midnight, sheltered or wind protected locations plummeted into the upper teens to lower 20s - another hard freeze - while locations with a continuing 4 to 8 mph northerly wind fell to or just below freezing for several hours. Higher relatively humidity allowed widespread frost to form, thickest in hollows and other low lying areas.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeClear, generally calm conditions allowed temperatures to fall rapidly after sunset on the 9th. Near the coast, a light breeze from the Gulf arrived overnight, increasing humidity and holding temperatures from dropping much lower than the freezing point. Along the coast and Laguna Madre, temperatures did not reach 32; however, locations within 5 miles of the coast likely fell below 32 for 2 to 4 hours.||No additional significant damage was likely with this freeze as temperatures hovered near 32 degrees rather than falling well below.
