SAN ANGELO, TX — Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected across West Central Texas this afternoon and evening along a cold front, the National Weather Service office in San Angelo said Tuesday.
The storms will be capable of producing large hail up to golf ball size or larger — potentially exceeding 2 inches in diameter — and damaging winds around 60 mph, forecasters said. Tornado chances are low but not zero.
The highest local risk is “Slight,” or Level 2 out of 5. Abilene is most likely to see storms this morning into early afternoon. San Angelo and Brownwood are in the mid-to-late afternoon window, while areas around Brady and the I-10 corridor could see activity from late afternoon into early evening.
A marginal risk of excessive rainfall exists Tuesday, increasing to a slight risk Wednesday. Locally heavy downpours could lead to flash flooding, especially in low-lying and urban areas, forecasters warned.
A cold front is bringing cooler temperatures and medium-to-high rain chances through Thursday. High temperatures are forecast to drop into the upper 70s Wednesday after reaching the low 90s Tuesday in San Angelo.
