Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA dry cold front whipped across Deep South Texas during the morning of November 30th, bringing very low humidity along with much cooler temperatures compared with the prior day. Clear skies and calming winds allowed temperatures to plummet rapidly across the drying soils of large swaths of ranchland and brush country, including portions of the mid and upper Rio Grande Valley. Temperatures would bottom out in the mid and upper 20s in preferred colder spots, and around 30 to near freezing in slightly warmer locations, with freezing temperatures lasting anywhere from 4 to 9 hours.||The second freeze in less than a week continued the rapid pace of grass and brush curing.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeTemperatures dipped to 32 just before midnight on December 1st at Zapata County Airport near Medina, and would fall farther, reaching 24 degrees before daybreak. At Falcon Lake Remote Automated Weather Station in Starr County, just across the County Line, recorded 24 as well, with 7 hours of freezing or below temperatures. The Falcon Dam cooperative site also fell below freezing, reaching 31 degrees for a few hours.
