Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA second modified arctic high pressure cell, coming just a week after a more significant and prolonged freeze and ice storm, initially brought afternoon wind chill temperatures down into the mid 20s to mid 30s on February 9th under steel gray skies. By sunset, skies cleared gradually from west to east; with starting temperatures in the low 40s, the stage was set for another widespread freeze.||By daybreak on February 10th, lows ranged from the upper 20s to lower 30s in most areas under clear skies and a range of north winds. Rural locations north and west of the Lower Valley saw winds drop generally below 10 mph, but still produce wind chill close to 20 degrees. Across the Lower Valley toward the coast, the combination of freezing temperatures with sustained 15 to 25 mph wind brought wind chill values to 20F as well.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeTemperatures across Zapata County fell to the freezing point by 2 AM or so on the 10th, then continued in the mid 20s to around 30 degrees through 830 AM before rising through the 30s and into the 40s by noon under a chilly north wind. The low temperature at the Zapata County Airport in Medina dipped to 26 degrees, with 2.5 hours of a hard freeze - temperatures below 28 degrees. Combined with north wind of 4 to 8 mph, it felt colder, with wind chill temperatures flirting with 20F for much of the period. Hard freeze areas were limited to preferred colder, sheltered locations.
