The wider storm

A cold front pushed across Deep South Texas and the Rio Grande Valley during the afternoon hours of February 16th. Surface high pressure centered over south central Texas, combined with clear skies, rapidly decoupling winds, and lowering dew points to provide a good setup for a radiational cooling event that resulted in a short duration freeze for Kenedy County. Temperatures across Kenedy County dropped to or below freezing for several hours during the early morning hours of February 18th.
