San Angelo drivers should prepare for triple-digit heat and a thunderstorm threat starting Sunday afternoon, stretching into early next week. Dangerous heat will build Monday, with temperatures reaching 97°F before storm chances rise Tuesday, creating potential hazards for drivers on US-87 and area farm-to-market roads.
According to the National Weather Service in San Angelo, showers could begin as early as Sunday afternoon, with the strongest storms possible after 4 p.m. Gusty winds and lightning remain the main concerns, though rainfall totals look light. Heat remains the more immediate threat, with highs near 98°F Monday and Tuesday keeping outdoor workers, students, and travelers at risk.
Residents in Tom Green County and nearby towns should take extra precautions, including staying hydrated, limiting outdoor activity in peak afternoon hours, and watching for slick roads if storms develop. Evening cooling will only bring lows in the lower 70s, offering little overnight relief.
Sunny and hot conditions will continue through much of the week, but scattered storms may cool parts of San Angelo by Wednesday. While widespread flooding is not expected, any stronger downpour could cause brief ponding on local roads.
The hottest stretch of September so far is underway, with relief unlikely until later in the week. Additional advisories are possible as thunderstorms return Tuesday into Wednesday.
