All of the Texas Panhandle dropped below freezing for several hours during the late night hours of the 18th and morning hours of the 19th. A cold front moved through the Panhandle early on the 15th, and the post frontal airmass allowed for temperatures to plummet after sunset. These subfreezing temperatures threatened sensitive vegetation during the start of the growing season. Overnight low temperatures ranged from 17 at the West Texas Mesonet site at Bootleg (Deaf Smith County) to 30 at the Canadian Airport (Hemphill County). Also a new record low temperature of 26 degrees was set at the Amarillo ASOS (Potter County) which broke the old record of 28 set in 1953. After sunrise on the 19th, temperatures quickly warmed above freezing by 8:45 AM CST.
