A late season widespread hard freeze occurred across the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle. A surface cold front moved south across the region during the late evening hours of the 14th. This was in association along the backside of a large 500 hPa system moving east across the central Plains. Going into the early morning hours on the 15th, winds were reduced to light and variable under a surface high pressure that set up across the northeastern Panhandles in the wake of the cold front. Albeit a shallow cold air mass, the weak winds under high pressure behind the front allowed temperatures across the Panhandle to experience a hard freeze with low temperatures ranging from 21-28 degrees.
