• Ice Storm and Winter Storm in Texas, February 12 to 17, 20211 death · 17 eventsThe first in a series of Arctic Cold Fronts arrived during the 12th pushing tide levels down along the coast, however the subfreezing temperatures and winter weather did not arrive until the 14th.
• Storm Surge and Flash Flooding in Texas, September 21 to 23, 2020$950,000 · 14 eventsTropical Storm Beta made landfall near Matagorda bay on September 21. As the system pushed slowly inland, portions of SE Texas experienced flash flooding from heavy rain bands, storm surge, and some strong wind gusts.
• Flash Flood and Heavy Rain in Texas, January 27 to 30, 2018$1.0 million · 3 eventsAn incoming short wave provided ample lift of a very moist air mass to produce several hours of rainfall over Jefferson County. 8 to 12 inches of rain fell which caused flooding.
• Damaging Wind and Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, December 25 to 29, 2012$754,000 · 50 kt wind · 4 eventsA strong cold front moved through Southeast Texas during Christmas Day with strong winds and small hail in storms along the boundary, strong gradient winds behind the boundary, and low tides caused by persistent strong north winds behind the front.
• Winter Weather and Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 12 to 17, 20189 eventsAn arctic cold front passed through the area during the evening of the 15th. The cold air mass filtered in during the night and light rain transitioned over to snow as temperatures fell below freezing.
• Drought and Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, August 2 to 15, 20227 eventsSevere (D2) Drought continued to expand in early August due to lack of significant rainfall, hot to very hot temperatures, along with low relative humidity values each afternoon.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 26 to 30, 20265 eventsA second strong cold front moved into the region with high pressure slowly drifting across the area. This kept tides below normal for the end of the month at Sabine Pass.
• Damaging Winds and Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, October 25 to 29, 2025$5,000 · 50 kt wind · 4 eventsScattered storms occurred during the early morning of the 25th. During the evening, a line of thunderstorms pushed through southeast Texas ahead of a cold front. Severe weather occurred with a couple segments of the line.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 15 to 19, 20264 eventsHigh pressure settled into the region pushing the tide below normal for several days at Sabine Pass.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 1 to 4, 20264 eventsNorth winds pushed the tides below normal for multiple days along the coast of southeast Texas.
• Hail and Damaging Wind in Texas, March 11 to 16, 2026$1,000 · 1.25 in hail · 4 eventsA series of upper level disturbances pushed through southeast Texas causing multiple days of stormy weather. A pair of severe weather reports were received. Behind the fast paced fronts that caused the unsettled weather, tides fell below normal.
• Hail and Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 21 to 22, 20161.75 in hail · 3 eventsA cold front pushed across the region during the 21st. One severe storm formed along the cold front. Behind the cold front strong north winds drove the tides below normal.
• Coastal Flood and Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 22 to 25, 20233 eventsLow and high tidal variations from the 22nd through the 25th were forced by a pair of strong cold fronts and an area of low pressure.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, December 29 to 31, 20253 eventsA strong cold front moved across the coast late in December. Brisk north winds pushed the tides below normal for multiple tide cycles.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, March 21, 20102 eventsA strong cold front moved southward across southeast Texas on March 20th, bringing scattered sleet and snow flurries to portions of the Lakes region. No accumulation was reported as temperatures remained well above freezing.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, March 1 to 3, 20132 eventsA strong north wind behind a cold front pushed the tides to less than one foot below mllw.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 2 to 3, 20142 eventsStrong north winds behind a cold front caused the tide level at Sabine Pass to fall below one foot below mllw during two tide cycles.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, April 14 to 15, 20142 eventsStrong north winds behind a cold front pushed tides below one foot below mean lower low water at Sabine Pass.
• Damaging Wind and Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 3 to 5, 2015$1,000 · 50 kt wind · 2 eventsA cold front moved through the region during the early morning hours of the 3rd with showers and a few thunderstorms along the boundary. Thunderstorms were more numerous to the north where better instability was located.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 23 to 26, 20172 eventsA series of cold fronts produced strong north to northwest winds across the coast. This pushed the tides below -1 MLLW during multiple tide cycles.
• Damaging Wind and Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 19 to 20, 2019$5,000 · 50 kt wind · 2 eventsA line of showers and storms moved through the region ahead of a cold front. One cell produced a high wind gust at Orange that produced damage. Strong winds behind the front pushed tides below normal.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 2 to 3, 20222 eventsTides dipped below -1 foot MLLW behind a strong cold front during two tide cycles.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, September 1 to 5, 20222 eventsAlthough welcomed rainfall fell across much of the area in mid to late August, there remained a swath of Severe (D2) and Extreme (D3) Drought in Zapata and Starr Counties. Additional rain over Labor Day weekend was enough to reduce drought below Severe and Extreme conditions.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, January 11 to 13, 20252 eventsStrong north winds behind a cold front pushed water levels below -1 foot MLLW in Sabine Lake during 2 tide cycles.
• Astronomical Low Tide in Texas, December 5 to 8, 20252 eventsNorth winds behind a coastal low and cold front pushed tides below normal on the coast of Jefferson County.
