Texas wakes up under a brittle winter chill, where frost clings to windshields and the air burns with each breath. In West Central Texas, the cold feels sharper than usual, and even brief outdoor trips demand preparation as dangerous conditions linger.
According to the National Weather Service in San Angelo, an Extreme Cold Warning remains in effect until midday, with wind chills dropping as low as 9 degrees below zero across portions of the region. The warning covers Tom Green, Coke, Runnels, Fisher, Nolan, Brown, and surrounding counties. Frostbite and hypothermia can develop quickly on exposed skin.
Around San Angelo, temperatures sit in the low teens this morning, while light north winds push wind chills into single digits. Roads appear dry, but patchy freezing can develop where moisture lingers. Drivers on U.S. 87 and Loop 306 should stay alert for sudden slick spots, especially during early commutes. Plan extra time and keep speeds down.
As the day moves on, sunshine helps slightly, but the cold remains stubborn. Tonight brings another hard freeze, with lows near 11 degrees. By Tuesday, highs climb into the mid-40s, yet flash freezing becomes a concern after sunset as daytime melting refreezes quickly.
By Wednesday, winter loosens its grip. Highs reach the mid-40s again, then push into the 50s by Thursday and Friday. Even so, cold mornings continue, and pipes, pets, and people still need protection.
Dress in layers, cover exposed skin, protect pipes, and check on neighbors who may need help. How cold did it feel outside your door this morning?
