A cold front is coming to San Angelo this week, but temperatures will start to rise just in time for Halloween, according to the National Weather Service.
Meteorologist, Stephen Kearney said a cold front is coming in early Tuesday morning with high temperatures dropping to the 70s.
“This is our first strong cold front of the season. It will be a nice relief for us,” Kearney said. “Normal temperatures around this time are in the upper 70s. Its a few degrees cooler than normal but not unusual.”
There will also be strong winds Tuesday and Wednesday with wind gusts as high as 30 mph. The lowest temperatures are expected Wednesday night going into Thursday morning.
“It will be a chilly morning (Thursday) with temperatures close to freezing,” Kearney said. “Halloween (Friday) will have a high of 75 with light wind, a typical fall day. Temperatures will drop around 7 p.m. to the upper 60s for trick-or-treaters.”
