So, here is the thing about January in the Brazos Valley: it’s a total coin toss. One minute you're walking across the Texas A&M campus in a light hoodie, and the next, a "Blue Norther" screams down Highway 6 and makes you regret every life choice that led you away from a fireplace. If you're looking at the Bryan TX weather 10 day forecast right now, you're probably seeing that exact roller coaster in real-time.
Honestly, the next week and a half is basically a masterclass in Texas mood swings.
The Deep Freeze is Real (For a Night)
Let’s talk about tonight, Saturday, January 17th. We’re sitting at a chilly 45°F right now, but that’s the "warm" part. The north wind is currently kicking at about 9 mph, which puts the "feels like" temp at a stinging 40°F. If you’re heading out to Northgate or just grabbing a late-night taco, bring the heavy coat.
The real kicker? Tonight’s low is dropping all the way to 29°F.
Yeah, we’re hitting that freezing mark. There’s even a 5% chance of some stray snow flurries tonight. Don't go buying a sled—it won't stick—but it’s a reminder that Bryan isn't always sunburns and humidity. Tomorrow, Sunday the 18th, stays bright and sunny with a high of 60°F, but the morning starts at a bone-chilling 28°F.
The Mid-Week Warmup (And the Humidity Return)
By Monday, things start to "thaw" out, at least by Texas standards. We’re looking at a high of 62°F. Then, the humidity—that classic Bryan staple—starts creeping back in. By Wednesday, January 21st, the humidity hits a whopping 84%.

It’s gonna feel sticky.
Wednesday also brings our first real threat of rain with a 35% chance of light showers. If you have outdoor plans for the middle of the week, keep an eye on the sky. The temperatures will hover in the mid-60s, which is that awkward range where you’re too hot in a jacket but too cold in a T-shirt.
The 10-Day Outlook: A Stormy Finish?
Looking further out in this Bryan TX weather 10 day forecast, Friday the 23rd is actually looking pretty gorgeous with a high of 71°F. It’s the calm before the proverbial storm.
Sunday, January 25th, is the day to circle on your calendar. We’re currently tracking scattered thunderstorms with a 40% chance during the day, jumping up to a 70% chance of rain at night. The wind is going to pick up to 15 mph from the southeast, making it one of those days where umbrellas are basically useless because the rain is coming at you sideways.
Once that front passes, Monday the 26th drops us back into the "moderately chilly" category with a high of only 50°F and a stiff 16 mph north wind.
Survival Guide for the Brazos Valley Freeze
Since we are looking at lows in the 20s this weekend, you’ve gotta do the "Texas Four." Most locals know the drill, but it’s easy to get lazy when it was 75 degrees last week.
- People: Check on your neighbors, especially the elderly. Space heaters are great, but keep them three feet away from anything that can burn.
- Pets: If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring them inside.
- Pipes: Drip those faucets. Open the cabinet doors under your sinks to let the home's heat reach the plumbing.
- Plants: Cover the sensitive ones or move them into the garage.
Basically, don't let the sunny 60-degree afternoons fool you. The nights are where the danger hides in a Bryan winter.
What You Should Actually Do Next
Forget the long-range "guess-casts" for a second and focus on the immediate 48 hours. Since we are hitting 28-29°F tonight and tomorrow night, go out right now and disconnect your garden hoses. If you leave them attached, the water inside freezes, expands, and can pop your interior pipes. It’s a $500 mistake that takes 30 seconds to prevent.
Also, maybe dig out the wool socks. Monday morning is going to be a "remote start the car" kind of start to the work week.
