SAN ANGELO, TX — A strong cold front began moving into West Texas early Saturday, bringing temperatures well below freezing and the potential for wintry precipitation early next week, according to the National Weather Service in San Angelo.
Subfreezing temperatures are forecast to persist from Sunday evening through midday Wednesday across much of the region. Lows will drop into the teens on Monday and Tuesday mornings, with San Angelo expected to reach 19°F on Monday. Wind chills could fall below 10°F during this period, creating dangerously cold conditions.
Highs will struggle to exceed the mid-30s on Monday and Tuesday, though temperatures will begin to moderate by Wednesday, reaching the 50s by the end of the week. Residents are advised to dress warmly, limit outdoor activity, and protect the “Four Ps”: Pipes, Pets, People, and Plants.
The National Weather Service also noted a low to moderate chance for light snowfall Monday night into Tuesday morning, particularly in areas east of San Angelo, such as Brady and Brownwood. Accumulation is expected to remain under one inch, though forecast uncertainties remain.
Dry conditions are expected for the majority of the event, but residents are encouraged to monitor updates, as changes to the forecast are possible. Preparations to protect outdoor pipes and sensitive plants should be completed before the coldest air arrives.
