San Angelo, Texas – Storms will ramp up across West Texas starting Monday night, with San Angelo bracing for a round of heavy rain and thunderstorms that could linger into midweek. Drivers along US-87 and local roads should prepare for slippery conditions, brief downpours, and possible overnight hazards by late Monday into Tuesday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in San Angelo, a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms will begin Monday night after sunset, quickly increasing to a 70 percent likelihood of storms and heavy showers by Tuesday night. Gusty winds up to 20 mph and potential localized flooding could create hazardous travel conditions across Tom Green County and surrounding areas.
Monday will stay partly sunny and dry during daylight hours, with a high near 90°F and south winds gusting as high as 25 mph. The real action starts overnight, when moisture from the Gulf fuels an unstable atmosphere, setting the stage for thunderstorms that may become strong.
