San Angelo, Texas – Thunderstorms are set to slam into San Angelo Thursday afternoon, bringing a 90% chance of rain, thunder, and slick roads—especially near U.S. Highway 67. Residents should prepare for wet pavement, sudden downpours, and reduced visibility during commutes.
According to the National Weather Service in San Angelo, scattered showers and storms will develop by midday Thursday, becoming more widespread by evening. Winds will shift from southeast to northeast as storms pass through, and rainfall totals may exceed a quarter inch in stronger cells. The primary concerns include brief flooding in low-lying areas and lightning hazards.
After the storms, skies clear Friday with highs near 90°F and mostly cloudy conditions lingering. But the reprieve will be short-lived. By Saturday and into next week, summerlike heat builds rapidly. Sunday reaches 94°F, and Tuesday could top out at 95°F under mostly sunny skies.
Humidity will rise steadily over the weekend, with only a slight 20% chance of storms on Saturday and Monday. Overnight lows stay mild, mostly in the upper 60s to low 70s, providing limited relief.
Residents should limit outdoor activity during peak heat hours, stay hydrated, and monitor updates for potential heat advisories early next week. Storms Thursday may delay travel or disrupt outdoor plans, but the bigger story will soon be the searing summer heat.
