San Angelo Heatwave: Triple-Digit Temperatures and Storm Threats Expected Through Tuesday
SAN ANGELO, TEXAS — A dangerous combination of triple-digit heat and incoming storms is forecast to impact San Angelo and the greater West Central Texas area through the middle of next week. The National Weather Service (NWS) in San Angelo warns of rising temperatures, with Monday set to be the hottest day, reaching near 98°F under mostly sunny skies.
Weekend Heat Builds With Storm Potential
Temperatures will begin climbing over the weekend, with highs in the mid to upper 90s. On Sunday, there’s a 20% chance of isolated afternoon and evening thunderstorms, according to the NWS forecast. Although minimal, these storms could bring brief downpours and gusty winds, possibly impacting travel along U.S. 87 and Loop 306.
Tuesday Storms May Bring Heavy Rain and Disruption
By Tuesday, the risk of showers and storms will increase significantly, with a 40% to 50% chance of rain through Wednesday. These storms could linger into midweek, and localized flooding or brief power outages are possible if cells intensify. NWS forecasters say additional weather advisories may be issued depending on storm strength.
Heat Risk Remains High Across the Region
The primary concern remains the heat itself, with heat indices exceeding 100°F through early next week. Forecasted highs include:
- Saturday: Near 92°F, with a slight chance of storms
- Sunday: Near 97°F, isolated thunderstorms possible
- Monday: Mostly sunny, near 98°F
- Tuesday: Storm chance rises, high near 97°F
- Wednesday: Continued rain threat, high near 94°F
Officials urge residents to avoid outdoor activity during peak hours, stay hydrated, and check in on elderly neighbors and vulnerable individuals, especially during the afternoon heat.
What’s Next After the Heat and Storms?
Relief may come late in the week as cooler air moves in behind the storms, though how long it lasts will depend on evolving weather patterns. For now, West Central Texas remains under elevated risk for both heat-related illness and weather disruptions through at least Wednesday.
