San Angelo, TX – Much cooler and breezy conditions are expected across West Texas this afternoon, with scattered showers and a chance for isolated thunderstorms potentially impacting travel and outdoor plans Saturday.
According to the US National Weather Service in San Angelo, north winds will range from 15 to 25 mph, with gusts reaching up to 35 mph at times. These stronger winds could make driving difficult on open roadways, especially along major routes like US-87 and I-20 near Abilene and surrounding areas.
Forecasters say scattered showers will develop through the afternoon hours, with a few isolated thunderstorms possible across Tom Green County, Taylor County, and nearby communities. While severe weather is not expected to be widespread, brief downpours and gusty winds may occur in stronger cells.
High temperatures are expected to remain in the low to mid-60s, a noticeable drop compared to recent warmer conditions. Winds are expected to gradually diminish later this evening, with rain chances tapering off overnight.
Residents across the San Angelo and Abilene regions should prepare for shifting weather conditions throughout the day, especially if traveling or attending outdoor events.
