While the most intense weather is likely to pass north and east of San Angelo, some isolated strong storms are possible in surrounding regions.
Ahead of the cold front, Wednesday will see above-average temperatures with highs in the mid to upper 80s across much of the region. Southerly winds of 15-25 mph, gusting up to 40 mph, are expected through the afternoon before easing by evening. These conditions, combined with ongoing drought, have created elevated fire weather risks.
Following Wednesday’s storms, cooler weather and additional rain chances are anticipated as the cold front progresses. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to return Friday and continue through the weekend.
