| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Arctic air continued plunging through Deep South Texas on February 3rd and 4th, returning freezing temperatures to all areas during the late evening of the 2nd or just after midnight on the 3rd. A weak upper level disturbance combined with just enough low level moisture to develop a mist of freezing drizzle and light freezing rain soon after sunrise on the 3rd across the Lower Valley, spreading west and north through the day. The precipitation combined with gusty north winds to lock down temperatures at or below 32 degrees for more than 30 hours in all areas.||Overnight on the 3rd and into the 4th, temperatures remained steady from the Lower Rio Grande Valley to the King Ranch, but skies cleared before daybreak farther west, allowing temperatures to bottom out in the lower to mid 20s - a hard freeze. The combination of gusty north winds 20 to 25 mph mainly east of highway 281 held wind chill temperatures near or below 20 for much of the day on the 3rd, making it the coldest feeling day in more than two decades. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Between 30 and 33 hours of freezing temperatures covered coastal Willacy County, beginning during the pre dawn hours of February 3rd and continuing through around noon on February 4th, after which skies cleared and sunshine warmed temperatures to near 40 degrees. Through the period, temperatures held generally within a 2 degree range at any one location, between 28 and 30 degrees. Hard freezes - defined as 2 or more hours below 28 degrees - did not occur, but there were brief periods where temperatures fell to 27 degrees at Port Mansfield around daybreak each morning. |
