Texas – Frost sparkles on rooftops and parked cars as the Concho Valley starts the morning under biting winter cold. Breath clouds the air, and the ground feels stiff and unforgiving. This early chill is the most immediate concern, but it will not last long.
According to the National Weather Service in San Angelo, temperatures dropped into the lower 20s around daybreak with calm winds allowing cold air to settle near the surface. Conditions remain dry, but the hard freeze raises concerns for pets, exposed pipes, and sensitive plants across Tom Green County and nearby communities.
Sunshine quickly changes the feel by midday. Roads dry out fast as temperatures climb toward 60 this afternoon. That daytime thaw, however, sets up a familiar February problem. Any moisture left behind can refreeze after dark, especially on bridges and shaded roads. Drivers heading out early Monday should stay alert for slick patches.
By Tuesday, winter loosens its grip. Highs push into the lower to mid-60s with mostly sunny skies. Gusty winds Monday into Tuesday may briefly knock the edge off the warmth, making mornings feel colder than the numbers suggest. Even so, afternoons trend steadily milder through midweek.
This local pattern reflects a larger national split. Arctic air remains entrenched east of Texas, while the southern Plains sit on the warmer edge. With the Great Lakes nearly half frozen, cold air continues feeding south in pulses, keeping sharp temperature swings in play through the first week of February.
Plan layered clothing, protect pets and pipes, and slow down during early drives. Conditions improve each afternoon, but winter still demands respect.
