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 nearly all of coastal Willacy County fell to the freezing point between 4 and 5 AM on the 10th, then continued in the upper 20s to lower 30s through 9 AM before rising through the 30s and into the 40s by noon under a brisk north wind. Lows fell to 30 at Port Mansfield, and 31 at Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge (8 miles south of the county line) shortly after daybreak. Combined with sustained winds 15 to 20 mph with higher gusts, temperatures felt closer to 20 degrees for the morning commute and school bus ride.
