A strong arctic cold front moved through South Texas during the night of January 5th, 2017. Arctic high pressure then built southward into South Texas through the 6th (Friday) into the morning of the 8th (Sunday). As a result, temperatures continued to drop during the day on the 6th into the 30s for most of South Texas. As skies cleared the night of the 6th, temperatures were able to drop into the 20s across all of South Texas through the morning hours on the 7th. Morning low temperatures on the 7th of 26 °F were recorded at the Corpus Christi International Airport, 21 °F at the Victoria Regional Airport, and 27 °F at the Laredo International Airport. These were the coldest temperatures seen in 5-7 years across South Texas. On the following morning of the 8th, Corpus Christi International Airport recorded a low temperature of 26 °F, Victoria Regional Airport recorded a low temperature of 20 °F, and Laredo International Airport recorded a low temperature of 25 °F. Victoria missed tying a record low temperature by just 1 degree on both nights while Corpus Christi missed tying a record low temperature on the 7th by 1 degree.
In addition to the very cold temperatures, strong north winds between 25 and 35 mph with gusts to 40 mph produced low wind chill values across South Texas on the 6th and 7th. This prompted the issuance of long duration wind chill advisories for most of South Texas. Some counties were under a wind chill advisory for 31 straight hours! A wind chill warning was also issued for some counties from the evening of the 6th through the morning of the 7th. Wind chill values were generally in the teens and 20s during this period.
