San Angelo, Texas – A stretch of late-summer heat is expected to linger over West-Central Texas, keeping afternoon highs near or above 90 degrees through early next week. The dry, warm pattern will dominate outdoor plans but also heighten fire danger as humidity remains low.
According to the National Weather Service in San Angelo, temperatures will reach 92 Friday and stay in the upper 80s to near 90 through Tuesday. Nights will be mild, with lows mainly in the mid-60s. Skies remain clear to mostly sunny, ensuring no rainfall relief for area ranchers and farmers. Winds stay light, generally southeast 5 to 10 mph, which will prevent strong wildfire spread but still demands caution with burning or machinery use.
The Texas Department of Transportation urges drivers to remain alert along U.S. 87 and other rural routes, where dry roadside grasses can ignite quickly. Residents should continue watering landscaping, secure outdoor equipment against gusts, and limit open flame use. Power demand may also edge higher as air conditioners continue running well into October.
While the extended pattern trends slightly cooler by midweek, no major cold fronts are forecast to break the warmth until at least Thursday. The unusually hot and dry start to October has already put stress on stock ponds and dryland crops across Tom Green, Runnels, and Irion Counties.
