| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A large dome of Arctic High Pressure spread from the Great Plains southward into Deep South Texas and well into Mexico beginning late on February 1st and continuing into Groundhog Day, February 2nd 2011. Strong northwest winds turned what had been a balmy afternoon February 1st into a dangerously cold morning for unprotected people, pets, and plants on the 2nd. Freezing temperatures arrived in the Brush Country and King Ranch soon after midnight, and drove through the Rio Grande Valley before daybreak. Steely gray stratus behind the front kept temperatures from rising much above 32 degrees through the day .||The combination of northwest winds 20 to 25 mph and gusty near the coast, and 15 to 20 mph and gusty inland, dropped feels like temperatures into the low to mid teens in time for the morning school bus. The change from Tuesday afternoon to Wednesday morning was more than 40��F in air temperature, but a whopping 50 to 60�� lower in how it actually felt ��� quite a shock to most residents of the Rio Grande Valley.||Dangerous wind chills held in the teens to lower 20s for the remainder of the daylight hours, one of the coldest feeling days in decades. A number of locations had temperatures drop to or below the freezing point (32��F) for several hours; a brief hard freeze occurred across the northern tier of the brush country and King Ranch. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | The Automated Weather Observing System at Zapata/Medina Airport dipped to 32 degrees a little after 3 AM on the 2nd, bottoming out at 30 degrees during the mid morning hours before rising above freezing for a few hours during the afternoon. Eight hours of freezing temperatures were recorded at the Falcon Lake Remote Automated Observing System near the Starr/Zapata line, with a low of 31 degrees there and at Falcon Dam, also near the Starr/Zapata line. |
