Texas – A sharp chill settles over West Texas this morning, with cold air pooling in low spots and frost glinting on rooftops. Breath shows clearly in the quiet air, and early drivers feel the bite stepping outside. The cold is brief, but it sets the tone for a fast-changing February pattern.
According to the National Weather Service in San Angelo, temperatures started the day near 35 degrees with calm winds. Sunshine quickly takes over, pushing highs into the mid-60s by afternoon. South winds strengthen later, gusting over 25 mph at times and kicking up dust across open fields and rural roads like U.S. 67 and U.S. 277.
Across Tom Green County and the Concho Valley, this swing from cold mornings to mild afternoons increases late-winter hazards. Melting frost during the day can refreeze on shaded pavement early Wednesday, especially on bridges and low-water crossings. Drivers should slow down during early commutes and watch for slick patches that are hard to spot.
Tonight stays partly cloudy and milder, with lows holding in the low 40s. Tuesday remains mostly sunny and breezy, climbing into the mid-60s again. Winds shift by afternoon, and gusts could briefly exceed 25 mph. That breeze keeps fire danger elevated where grasses remain dry.
By Wednesday, calmer conditions arrive. Sunshine dominates, highs reach near 60, and mornings dip back into the low 30s. Thursday brings another warm step forward, with highs in the mid-60s under clear skies. Friday looks even warmer, pushing near 70 and hinting at early spring energy.
Looking ahead to the Feb 6–8 weekend, signs point to above-normal temperatures continuing across West Texas. For now, dress in layers, secure loose outdoor items, and plan extra time for early drives. Feeling the temperature swings already? Share what the morning cold felt like where you live.
