| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A true blue norther drove pure Canadian high pressure directly into South Texas and northern Mexico, beginning on November 27th and continuing through early on the 29th before the high drifted into the southeast U.S. Extremely dry and relatively chilly air invaded Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley; temperatures bottomed out in the mid 20s to lower 30s for all but the southeast corner of the Rio Grande Valley on the 28th.||The event was a rare dry freeze, as humidity through the coldest periods remained below 50 percent. Ambient temperatures varied greatly depending on the height of the sensor taking the measurements. At eye level, temperatures fell to or just below freezing in many areas, but remained a few degrees above freezing in others. Just above the ground, and in wind protected hollows, temperatures fell into the 20s; local hard freezes, defined as 2 or more hours with temperatures below 28 degrees, likely occurred. Agricultural damage was not known as of this writing. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Temperatures fell below freezing in wind protected areas of Starr County after midnight on the 28th, bottoming out in the mid to upper 20s. Non protected or higher ground locations remained at or above freezing. At the Remote Automated Weather Station at Falcon Lake (just south of the Zapata/Starr County line), temperatures flirted with 32 degrees between midnight and 2 AM, and fell below 32 by 330 AM, reaching a minimum of 25 degrees just after 7 AM. The cooperative station at Falcon Dam stayed just above freezing, while Rio Grande City reached 30 degrees between 7 and 8 AM. |
