| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong cold front surged through Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley the morning after Thanksgiving Day, and was followed by temperatures which had fallen more than 40 degrees from record highs near or above 90 on Thanksgiving into the upper 40s during the mid morning hours of November 26th. ||Clear skies, diminishing winds, and a chilly air mass set the stage for rapid overnight cooling on the 27th, and the season's first freeze set in during the pre dawn hours from the Rio Grande Plains to portions of the King Ranch in Kenedy County. Subfreezing temperatures also squeezed into far northern Hidalgo County, which was not included based on both of the following criteria: less than one half of the county area was not affected by the freeze, or one half of the county population was not affected by the freeze. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Near calm winds, clear skies, and a dry cool air mass allowed temperatures to fall steadily during the evening and overnight of November 26th and 27th. By 430 AM, the Remote Automated Weather Station at Falcon Lake, at the border of Starr and Zapata County, also fell below 32 degrees and would bottom out at 29, with around 3 consecutive hours below 32 from 430 until 730 AM. Proxy observations in northern Hidalgo and Zapata County, along with a number of known radiational cool spots in central and northern Starr County, argue for a slightly longer duration of time at or below 32 degrees, estimated to start around 3 AM CST. |
