Episodes

June 17, 2023

Very hot and moist low-level southerly winds became enhanced along and ahead of a stalled frontal boundary draped near to just north of the Interstate 20 corridor of East Texas and North Louisiana. An upper level ridge of high pressure also expanded northeast from Mexico across much of Texas. As a result, afternoon temperatures climbed into the mid to upper 90s over these areas. When combined with the high humidity, heat indices ranged from 110-119 degrees from the June 17th through the 20th. A 35 year-old male from West Virginia, who worked as a lineman for Appalachian Power, succumbed from heat stroke in Marshall around 830 pm on June 19th after helping to restore power from the severe thunderstorms that moved through the region on June 16th.

February 1, 2023

A deep southwesterly flow aloft prevailed across the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley on January 30th-February 2nd, ahead of a strong upper level low pressure system that drifted through Southern California, the Desert Southwest into Northern Mexico. Meanwhile, a strong but shallow arctic cold front shifted south through the Southern Plains on the January 29th-30th, before slowing significantly in the higher terrain of the Ouachitas of Southeast Oklahoma and Western Arkansas. Weak upper level disturbances embedded in this flow ahead of the low resulted in widespread sleet and freezing rain across much of the Southern Plains given the warm air above this shallow, freezing air mass, with areas of light freezing rain affecting portions of East Texas, extreme Southeast Oklahoma, and Southwest Arkansas from January 30th-February 2nd. Ice accumulations near or in excess of one-quarter inch was observed across the western sections of East Texas as well as Hempstead and Nevada Counties in Southwest Arkansas, with ice accretion of 0.25-0.50 inches noted on trees and power lines, as well as significant icing on bridges and overpasses. ||The following are freezing rain reports across various counties in East Texas:||Red River County: Detroit: 0.40 inches, Bogota: 0.25 inches.|Franklin County: Mount Vernon: 0.25 inches.|Wood County: Lake Fork: 0.25 inches.|Smith County: 7SE Lindale: 0.25 inches, 2S Tyler: 0.20 inches, 3SE Noonday: 0.10 inches.

This extended duration of freezing rain persisted into the first couple days of February across these areas.||The following are freezing rain reports across various counties in East Texas:||Red River County: Detroit: 0.40 inches, Bogota: 0.25 inches.|Franklin County: Mount Vernon: 0.25 inches.|Wood County: Lake Fork: 0.25 inches.|Smith County: 7SE Lindale: 0.25 inches, 2S Tyler: 0.20 inches, 3SE Noonday: 0.10 inches.

A large and amplifying upper trough dug south through the eastern two-thirds of the United States along and east of the Rockies on December 22nd, which ushered in the coldest temperatures for December in decades to much of the country leading up to the Christmas Day holiday weekend. This very cold arctic air mass moved into extreme Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, and Northeast Texas during the morning hours of the 22nd, with temperatures falling sharply some 20-30+ degrees with the attendant cold frontal passage into the single digits and lower teens by the morning hours of the 23rd. Very strong and gusty northwest winds of 35-45 mph were observed behind the front even through the morning of the 24th, producing a long duration of wind chill values ranging from 0 to as low as -13 degrees across Northeast Texas from the afternoon of the 22nd to the morning of the 24th. While the temperatures associated with this arctic air mass were not quite record-breaking for this time of year, the long duration of subfreezing temperatures, which persisted nearly 2 days, resulted in multiple reports of freezing and bursting of water pipes, as well as sporadic power outages across these areas.||Here are the lowest wind chill values recorded across Northeast Texas from December 22nd through the morning of the 24th:||Red River County: Clarksville, -11 degrees|Bowie County: Texarkana, -12 degrees; De Kalb, -6 degrees; Wake Village, -6 degrees; Redwater, -5 degrees; 3 NNW Nash, -2 degrees. |Cass County: 1 ENE Atlanta, -13 degrees, Atlanta Hall-Miller Municipal Airport, -9 degrees; Linden, -5 degrees. |Morris County: Old Country Acres, -10 degrees. |Titus County: Mount Pleasant, -12 degrees.|Camp County: Pittsburg, -11 degrees.|Wood County: Mineola/Quitman, -8 degrees; 7E Mineola, 0 degrees. |Upshur County: Gilmer Municipal Airport, -7 degrees.|Harrison County: Marshall, -9 degrees. |Gregg County: Longview East TX Regional Airport, -8 degrees; Warren City, -8 degrees; Longview, 0 degrees. |Smith County: Whitehouse, -10 degrees; Tyler Pounds Field Airport, -8 degrees; 2 W Tyler, -7 degrees; Arp, -7 degrees; Flint, -7 degrees; Bullard, -2 degrees; 4 NE Van, -1 degrees; 2 ESE Tyler, 0 degrees; Tyler, 0 degrees.

February 23, 2022

A strong but shallow cold front drifted south through Southeast Oklahoma, Southwest Arkansas, and Northeast Texas during the afternoon and evening hours of February 22nd, with temperatures plummeting to near and below freezing by the early morning hours of the 23rd. A deep, moist southwest flow aloft was in place across the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley during the 22nd-23rd, with embedded impulses in the flow enhancing large scale forcing such that areas of freezing rain mixed with brief periods of sleet fell across much of Northern and Northeast Texas, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. Damming of the colder, subfreezing air from the Ouachitas of Southeast Oklahoma and Western Arkansas slowed the progression of the transition of the mixed wintry precipitation, such that only McCurtain County Oklahoma, the western sections of East Texas, and the northern sections of Southwest Arkansas observed only minor impacts of the ice accumulations. In these areas, minor ice accumulations occurred on elevated objects such as trees and power lines, with some icing observed on bridges and elevated road surfaces.||The following are ice accumulations and impacts across various counties in Northeast Texas: ||In Red River County, 0.02 inches of ice was estimated with icing of bridges and some roadways were reported across the central and western sections of the county, including Clarksville and Bogata. |In Franklin County, 0.02 inches of ice was estimated with bridges and overpasses along I-30 in Mount Vernon covered in ice. |In Titus County, 0.02 inches of ice was estimated with ice covering portions of I-30 at Mile Marker 158 three miles east of Winfield. This resulted in a vehicle losing control and rolling over. Fortunately, no injures or fatalities were reported. |In Wood County, a glaze of ice was reported with several bridges along Highway 69 south of Mineola covered in ice. |In Smith County, a glaze of ice was reported with the Loop 49 bridge over FM 2493 closed due to icing. In addition, bridges and overpasses on I-20 from Highway 69 west to the Van Zandt County line were covered in ice.
