San Angelo, TX – Residents across West Central Texas can expect an unusually warm stretch of weather this Christmas week, with spring-like temperatures forecast for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
According to the National Weather Service in Abilene/San Angelo, daytime high temperatures are expected to range from the mid-70s to mid-80s, running about 20 degrees above normal for late December. Overnight lows will remain mild, generally falling into the mid-50s to near 60 degrees in some areas.
On Wednesday (Christmas Eve), forecasters expect partly cloudy skies with highs reaching the mid-70s to low 80s. A light south breeze will contribute to the unseasonably warm conditions, making it feel more like early fall than winter.
The warmth continues on Thursday (Christmas Day), with similar conditions expected. Highs will again climb into the mid-70s to mid-80s, while overnight lows stay in the 50s. Skies are expected to remain partly cloudy, with a continued south breeze bringing warm air into the region.
The forecast applies broadly across Tom Green County, surrounding West Central Texas communities, and areas near the Abilene and San Angelo metro regions.
While the warm weather may be welcome for holiday travel and outdoor gatherings, the National Weather Service notes that these temperatures are well above seasonal averages, which typically feature highs in the 50s to low 60s this time of year.
Residents planning Christmas travel or outdoor celebrations are encouraged to stay hydrated and dress for warmer-than-expected conditions.
