San Angelo, Texas – San Angelo faces a dangerous stretch of summer heat as temperatures soar toward 100°F by Thursday, with little overnight cooling and no chance of rain to break the trend. Residents are urged to brace for several days of oppressive, dry weather, which will test power grids and pose risks for those working outdoors.
According to the National Weather Service, high temperatures will approach 99°F on Wednesday before climbing to a scorching 100°F Thursday afternoon. South winds around 5 mph will offer little relief, and overnight lows are not expected to drop below the low 70s through early next week.
The hottest days will be Thursday and Friday, when highs hover near 100°F and skies remain clear. City infrastructure, including roadways and power systems, could see extra strain as air conditioners run nonstop. Anyone venturing outside, especially along the Loop 306 corridor or rural county roads, should avoid strenuous activity during peak afternoon hours, stay hydrated, and check on vulnerable neighbors.
Cooling centers may be needed if the heat persists into the weekend. With no major changes in sight, area residents should monitor for updated advisories and keep emergency water supplies on hand. Another update is likely if the heat wave intensifies or if any outages occur.
