...FREEZING TEMPERATURES POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTH TEXAS
TONIGHT...

TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL QUICKLY INTO THE 40S AND 50S
AFTER SUNSET IN THE WAKE A THIS MORNINGS STRONG COLD FRONT. VERY
DRY AIRMASS AND WEAKENING WINDS AFTER MIDNIGHT WILL ALLOW LOW
TEMPERATURES TO DROP INTO THE 30S FOR MOST INLAND LOCATIONS WITH
40S ALONG THE IMMEDIATE COAST. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN HIGH
ENOUGH TO PREVENT WIDESPREAD FREEZING TEMPERATURES
OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER LOW TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE
MID 30S ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 59 AND SOME MORE RURAL AND WELL
SHELTERED LOCATIONS WITHIN THIS REGION MAY EXPERIENCE A BRIEF
LIGHT FREEZE TUESDAY MORNING. THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY
OCCUR ALONG THE NUECES AND FRIO RIVER VALLEYS WEST OF CHOKE CANYON
DUE TO WEAKER WINDS LATE TONIGHT WHICH WILL ALLOW STRONGER RADIATIONAL
COOLING. MORNING LOWS ARE FORECAST TO BRIEFLY REACH 30 TO 32
DEGREES IN THESE AREAS.

ANY RESIDENTS WITH PLANTS OR ANIMALS THAT ARE EXTREMELY SENSITIVE TO
THE COLD WEATHER SHOULD TAKE MEASURES TO PROTECT THEM TONIGHT. FOR
