Storms Move Through Today Before Freezing Temperatures Arrive

 

SAN ANGELO, TX — Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected across the Concho Valley today before a powerful cold front brings freezing temperatures and bitter wind chills to the region by Sunday, according to the National Weather Service in San Angelo.

Forecasters say highs today will hover near 60 degrees, though most areas will stay in the mid- to upper 50s under cloudy skies. South winds will range from 15 to 20 mph, with gusts topping 25 mph. Storm chances increase after 3 p.m., with the best opportunity for rain and isolated thunderstorms this evening.

Overnight lows Sunday and Monday are forecast near freezing, with wind chills in the teens and 20s for early-morning hours from Sunday through Tuesday.

Wind-chill forecasts show San Angelo in the low 20s Sunday morning and mid-20s Monday and Tuesday mornings. The weather service advises limiting time outdoors during the early hours and ensuring children are dressed in warm layers for school.
