| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A deep and very cold area of low pressure developed across the desert southwest during the middle of January 2013, which led to widespread freezing and sub-freezing temperatures across the lower deserts. Freezing temperatures developed on the morning of January 12, and continued for 4 days. The coldest morning was on January 15, the final day of the freeze outbreak, and the temperature that morning at Phoenix Sky Harbor fell to 29 degrees. The freezing temperatures resulted in significant damage across the deserts, in the form of burst outdoor pipe, crop damage and dead frost sensitive plants and trees, such a ficus and lantana. Freeze, and hard freeze, warnings were issued for the deserts of Arizona during this cold temperature outbreak. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A very cold airmass settled in across the desert southwest from Saturday January 12th through Monday January 14th. The cold and relatively dry conditions led to widespread freezing temperatures across much of southwest Yuma county including the communities of Yuma and Martinez Lake. A Freeze Warning was issued for the area beginning Friday night and running through early Monday morning on January 14th. Increasing wind and cloudiness brought a premature ending to the Freeze Warning, it was cancelled at 4 am on Monday morning. The colder areas of southwest Yuma county fell into the mid 20s to around 30 during the mornings of the freeze event; the Yuma Red Bluff Pavement COOP station reported a low of 24 degrees on Sunday morning. The cold temperatures caused some damage to exposed pipes as well as causing the loss of landscaping plants and trees, garden plants and vegetables, and citrus crops. |
