SAN ANGELO, Texas — Monday afternoon featured a massive temperature variant across West Texas. Afternoon highs climbed into the upper 70s to lower 80s throughout much of the Concho Valley, while Big Country temperatures remained in the 40s and 50s. This is all because of a cold front that stalled across the region and became a stationary front. 

This stationary front will continue to sit across West Texas Tuesday and Wednesday which will create a large temperature variant throughout the area. Temperatures Tuesday will stay well below-average in our northeastern communities while our southwestern communities will once again climb above average.

This will continue to be the case Wednesday when another large temperature variant is expected across the area because of the stalled front.

Thursday, a stronger shot of cold air will push in from the north. This will cause temperatures to plummet throughout the area as an arctic air mass settles into the region.
