Cold air hangs low across West Texas, and the morning feels crisp against exposed skin. Car windshields stay clear, but the bite in the air signals winter still has a grip before February turns volatile.
Texas is waking up to chilly conditions across the Concho Valley as temperatures sit near the upper 30s in San Angelo, with wind chills closer to freezing. According to the National Weather Service, dry conditions dominate for now, but the bigger story is the dramatic temperature swing unfolding into early next week.
San Angelo starts the day cold, with lows near the mid-20s and a light northeast breeze. Sunshine helps temperatures recover slowly, but coats remain necessary through the morning commute. Bridges and shaded roadways can still feel slick early, especially outside city limits.
By Monday, conditions flip quickly. Southwest winds strengthen and pull much warmer air north, sending afternoon highs into the mid-60s. Gusts could top 20 mph, creating areas of blowing dust on rural roads and reducing visibility at times. Secure loose outdoor items and plan for changing driving conditions.
The warmth peaks early in the week, then fades. By Tuesday night into Wednesday, cooler air returns, dropping lows back toward the low 30s. While widespread precipitation looks unlikely, the pattern raises a familiar winter concern. Any moisture left on pavement can refreeze after sunset, creating isolated slick spots during early drives.
Looking farther out, February trends warmer overall across West Texas, even as stronger cold fronts target the Midwest and East Coast later in the week. Rapid swings remain the theme.
Stay alert to changing conditions and check roads before early travel. How cold did it feel where you are this morning?
