San Angelo, Texas – A dangerous stretch of dry, triple-digit heat is about to grip West Central Texas, starting Thursday, July 31st, with San Angelo expected to hit 98°F by afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in San Angelo, mostly clear skies and southwest winds will combine with rising temperatures to push heat indices into the upper 90s. Elevated fire weather concerns return Thursday and Friday, especially along highways like US-277 and TX-208, where dry grass and roadside brush increase ignition risk.
By Friday afternoon, there’s a 20% chance of thunderstorms after 1 p.m., though rainfall will be sparse and likely localized. Highs will remain in the mid-90s into the weekend. Thunderstorms remain possible Friday and Saturday, but no widespread relief from the heat is expected. Calm to light southeast winds won’t offer much help.
