San Angelo, TX – A cold weather advisory remains in effect for much of west-central Texas, including San Angelo, until 9 a.m. Tuesday. Residents are warned to prepare for wind chills as low as 2°F to 10°F, with hypothermia a concern for anyone outside without adequate protection.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the advisory spans areas along and north of I-20, impacting communities across Menard, Abilene, and Coleman. The coldest conditions are expected overnight, with gusty northeast winds making temperatures feel significantly colder. By Tuesday afternoon, highs will rise to the mid-30s, offering some relief.

Precautions are crucial to avoid frostbite or hypothermia. The NWS urges residents to limit outdoor exposure and wear layered clothing, gloves, and hats. Travelers on I-20 should use caution, as freezing temperatures could impact road conditions overnight.

Looking ahead, sunny skies are forecast for Wednesday and Thursday, with highs reaching the 50s. Overnight lows, however, will remain near or below freezing. By Friday, temperatures will approach 60°F, signaling a gradual warm-up.

This prolonged cold snap is unusual for west Texas, where winter extremes often bring challenges for unprepared residents. Stocking up on supplies and ensuring proper heating is essential during these conditions. Stay informed by monitoring updates from the National Weather Service.
