SAN ANGELO, TX – One of the coldest cold fronts is about to hit San Angelo this coming weekend with the lowest temperature predicted to be 15 degrees.
The National Weather Service (NWS) of San Angelo has issued a Special Weather Statement today titled “Bitterly Cold Temperatures to Arrive Late Saturday.” The statement said, “An arctic cold front will arrive Saturday afternoon … [where] temperatures will drop below freezing Saturday evening.”
Saturday’s high is set to reach 75 degrees; however, a cold front moving through San Angelo evening will “drop temperatures down pretty decently to around 18 degrees,” said a spokesperson from the NWS. He added that the cold front is expected to hit around 6 p.m.
Sunday morning the temperatures are predicted to be in the teens and lower 20s, with wind chills making the weather even colder and temperatures near zero in some areas. The high for Sunday will be around 35 degrees; however, by the evening, San Angelo will witness the coldest temperature of the week – 15 degrees. No rain chances are in the forecast for this weekend, so ice is not foreseeable at this time.
