Excessive Heat Warning Continues Tuesday with High Temperature of 107

SAN ANGELO – The Excessive Heat Warning issued Sunday by the National Weather Service office in San Angelo continues through 8 p.m. Tuesday for all of the Concho Valley, Big Country and Heartland as afternoon high temperatures will reach 107 degrees.  

San Angelo set a new record high temperature of 110 degrees Monday.  Excessive heat will continue for at least the next several days with triple digits expected.  

Meteorologists with the NWS report there is a very slight chance of a few isolated showers Tuesday afternoon but they will be scattered and no significant rainfall is expected.  Those possible showers are associated with a weak cold front which will have no effect on temperatures.  

An excessive heat warning means dangerous heat conditions exist.  Residents are advised to drink plenty of liquids and take frequent breaks in the shade if working outside.  Check on vulnerable friends and neighbors frequently and never, ever leave a child or a pet in a hot car.  

Know the signs and symptoms of heat related illnesses and treat those symptoms as soon as possible.  

The Excessive Heat Warning will expire at 8 p.m. Tuesday.  Expect the NWS to issue a Heat Advisory beginning Wednesday with temperatures a few degrees cooler.  

This is a dangerous weather situation.
