Texas – Cold air bites early across West Central Texas as frost glints on parked cars and breath hangs visible in the streets of San Angelo. The morning starts quiet and calm, but the temperature alone delivers impact, especially for drivers and early commuters.
According to the National Weather Service in San Angelo, temperatures hovered near freezing early this morning, with light winds allowing cold pockets to settle across Tom Green County. Even without precipitation, bridges, overpasses, and shaded roadways can turn slick where moisture lingers.
Skies gradually brighten as clouds thin, allowing highs to climb toward the upper 50s later today. That warming creates a familiar winter risk. Melted frost and damp pavement may refreeze tonight as readings fall back into the mid-20s. Drivers along U.S. 87 and Loop 306 should remain alert during early morning and late-night travel.
Saturday stays crisp and dry, with sunshine but cooler highs in the low 40s. Winds remain light, yet the air feels sharp. By Sunday, conditions flip quickly. Southwest winds return, skies clear, and highs rebound into the upper 50s. Monday pushes the warmth further, with mid-60s possible by afternoon.
This rapid thaw-and-freeze pattern increases the risk of flash freezing after sunset, especially where daytime melting occurs. It’s a common setup for winter fender-benders this time of year. Keep coats handy despite warmer afternoons, and check pets, pipes, and outdoor faucets before nightfall.
Looking ahead into early February, colder air remains active across much of the country, while Texas rides the edge of big temperature swings. Conditions may change quickly.
