Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA developing cold front, associated with the creation of the December Blizzard of 2010 from New Jersey to New England, pulled down dry, Canadian air with strengthening high pressure overnight on December 25th and well into the morning hours of December 26th. Breezes through the post midnight hours kept temperatures a hair above freezing in many areas, but calming winds by 2 AM or so allowed temperatures to fall more steadily, continuing for an hour or two after sunrise. ||Lows fell well into the 20s in sheltered locations of rural Deep South Texas, and even reached 32 or lower in populated areas of the Lower and Mid Rio Grande Valley. The coldest temperatures of the winter thus far were felt from McAllen to Harlingen and Brownsville, where temperatures fell to a hair above freezing. For the lower Valley, all non urban areas west of highway 77 saw freezing temperatures on the 26th.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThe cooperative observer at Raymondville reported a minimum temperature of 29 degrees early on December 26th. The nearby Remote Automated Weather Station at the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge near San Manuel (less than 10 miles west of the County line) dropped to 25 degrees, with more than four hours of freezing temperatures on the 26th. reaching 33 degrees.||The combination of Raymondville's low temperature, proxy observations from the King Ranch and San Manuel, and the likelihood that more than half of the area of inland Willacy County reached freezing temperatures for several hours argues for a freeze event.
