A front brought gusty southwest winds and periods of heavy rain to the island chain.  The winds downed power lines that resulted in more than 25,000 customers losing electricity for a time in Oahu's windward side.  They also toppled trees and damaged roofs in the area and on other islands.  In Maui County, a ferry between Lanai and Lahaina on Maui was halted because of rough seas from the winds, and two sailboats ran aground.  There were no reports of serious injuries, however.

A perfect storm of atmospheric and surface conditions led to the development of very dangerous fire weather conditions on January 22nd. First, two nights of subfreezing temperatures combined with very dry air on January 7th and 8th cured fine fuels (mainly grasses and brush) across the South Texas Brush Country.  Second, a heat spike on January 21st brought mid to upper 90s temperatures and afternoon humidity below 10 percent in some areas.  Finally, a front surged across Deep South Texas early on the 22nd, followed by wind gusts up to 50 mph, humidity crashing below 10 percent, and temperatures still warming into the 80s. A downed power line sparked a fire near the Hopper Ranch in western Brooks County, which soon grew to 8,000 acres.

An wildfire, sparked by a downed power line possibly due to 50 mph wind gusts, grew explosively to 8,000 acres in just a few hours - driven by continued 40 to 45 mph wind gusts, relative humidity crashing below 10 percent, warm temperatures into the 80s, and recently cured fine and moderate fuels (grass and brush).  Multiple fire fighting units from the Rio Grande Valley to the South Texas Brush Country and Coastal Bend fought the fire, which was controlled and contained during the 24 hours that followed as lighter winds and higher humidity arrived. There were no reports of structure damage and other damage estimates were unknown as of late March.

Although it was not the only ice jam-related flooding of the winter along the Platte River in the Hall County area, the generally minor flooding that occurred between Friday the 3rd and Monday the 6th was likely the most persistent and noticeable round of the season. The initial flooding report arrived on the morning of the 3rd, as water along one of the middle channels began spilling into fields near Locust Street a short distance north of Interstate 80, covering the road leading to Camp Augustine. Over the course of the next few days, flooding receded in the Locust St. area, but worsened slightly upstream near the Interstate 80/Highway 281 interchange, where waters inundated fields and reached the parking lot of the hotel just southwest of the Interchange. The situation remained fairly steady-state until sometime late on the 6th or early on the 7th, when water receded and flows returned to normal.
When examining temperature trends, this multi-day round of ice jamming fit a typically favorable, fluctuating pattern. Leading up to ice jam formation, temperatures from Jan. 28-31 were relatively mild, averaging over 12 degrees above normal. This was followed by an abrupt transition to colder weather Feb. 1-3, with sub-freezing highs and overnight lows averaging 17 degrees, promoting ice formation. Then from the 4th-6th, milder daytime highs of 55/41/49 allowed the ice to break up.
