| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A fairly vigorous cool front swept through Deep South Texas early on December 12th, followed by strong high pressure with Canadian roots but not truly frigid air to arrive later on the 12th into the 13th. Clear and relatively calm conditions overnight allowed temperatures to fall near or just below freezing in rural Deep South Texas. In locations where the temperature remained just above freezing, dew points remained in the teens, and prolonged low wet bulb temperatures in the mid 20s likely created a proxy freeze for tender vegetation in neighborhoods and towns.||The very dry, cold morning further cured fine and medium fuels (grasses and brush); the freeze was the fourth of the season in a little more than two weeks. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Along the Rio Grande, the Remote Automated Weather Station near Falcon Lake, just south of the Zapata/Starr County line, recorded four hours of freezing temperatures with a low of 31, and the cooperative observation at Rio Grande City also fell to 31 degrees, with unknown duration. The cooperative location at Falcon Dam (near border of Zapata County), however, remained several degrees above freezing, bottoming out at 35 degrees. Proxy data and known drainage locations support most of Starr County falling to or just below freezing.||The impressively low overnight dew points, dipping into the mid teens, supported wet bulb temperatures in the mid 20s for four to seven hours after midnight on the 13th; prolonged low wet bulb temperatures are known to create a proxy freeze to unprotected, cold weather sensitive tender vegetation. |
