Abilene, TX – Texans are closing out 2025 with calm and comfortable weather conditions today, with forecasters signaling an even warmer trend heading into the first week of the new year.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Abilene/San Angelo, today’s weather across West Central Texas will remain pleasant, with afternoon highs reaching the mid to upper 60s. Skies are expected to be partly cloudy, and light south to southwest breezes will range from 5 to 10 mph, making for favorable travel and outdoor conditions.
However, temperatures are expected to dip overnight. Forecasters say lows will fall into the mid to upper 40s by midnight tonight, marking a noticeable but brief cooldown before warmer air returns.
For residents hoping for a warmer start to 2026, the outlook is promising. The NWS reports that highs will climb into the mid to upper 70s for the first few days of January, well above seasonal averages for much of Texas, including Taylor County, Tom Green County, and surrounding areas near the Abilene and San Angelo metro regions.
The 6–10 day temperature outlook, covering January 5 through January 9, shows a strong signal for above-normal temperatures across most of Texas. The forecast map highlights much of the state in elevated probability zones for warmer-than-average conditions, suggesting the mild pattern could persist into mid-January.
While no hazardous weather is expected at this time, residents are encouraged to stay updated as forecast details evolve in the coming days.
