Texas – Cold air bites early across West Central Texas, where breath fogs the air and windshields glaze before sunrise. In San Angelo, the morning starts near the upper 20s, and the chill lingers long enough to slow drivers and early commuters.
According to the National Weather Service in San Angelo, temperatures hovered near 27°F early with light northwest winds, producing wind chills in the lower 20s. Sunshine builds through the day, helping highs recover into the lower 50s. Conditions stay dry, but shaded pavement and bridges may remain slick through mid-morning.
This quiet stretch masks a more active national pattern. Cold air flowing across the Great Lakes continues to fuel lake-effect snow through Friday, while snow spreads across parts of the Northern and Central Plains. Pacific moisture brings rain and mountain snow into the Northwest, creating travel issues well beyond Texas.
Locally, the pattern stays steady but cold at night. Clear skies allow temperatures to fall quickly after sunset, increasing the risk of flash freezing where daytime melting occurs. Drivers should use caution on overpasses, rural roads, and less-traveled routes. Pet owners and homeowners should protect animals, plants, and exposed pipes.
By Friday and into the weekend, afternoons turn brighter but cooler again. Saturday highs dip into the low 40s before rebounding by Sunday. Winds remain light, making the cold feel sharper during early hours and more comfortable by mid-afternoon.
Looking ahead, longer-range outlooks show precipitation chances dropping across much of the central U.S. next week as colder air shifts east. West Central Texas stays mostly dry while February approaches. How cold did it feel where you stepped outside this morning?
