Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe core of a modified arctic air mass settled over all of South Texas on the morning of February 11th, providing clear skies and light winds. Cool dry air, with afternoon high temperatures only in the 50s on the 10th, allowed temperatures to tumble after sunset, eventually bottoming out in the 20s in most areas, except upper teens in preferred colder spots of the Brush Country, and just above freezing near the Cameron County coast, where easterly winds arrived prior to daybreak.||Following this freeze, temperatures would soon rise above average by mid month, and remain warm through the 28th.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeTemperatures fell to 32F or slightly around midnight on the 11th, then continued to steadily drop, reaching down to 20 to the lower 20s in most areas of the county. At least eight hours of freezing temperatures were recorded, though up to 12 hours may have occurred in colder pockets. The low temperature at Zapata County Airport in Medina was 20 degrees, with 5 hours of hard freeze conditions (less than 28 degrees). The Falcon Lake Remote Automated Weather Station just south of the Zapata Starr county line was 22, with hard freeze conditions lasting for a total of 7 hours.
