NWS Gives Update on Midweek Storms and Flood Risk

 

SAN ANGELO, Texas — The National Weather Service says rain and thunderstorm chances will increase by midweek across West Central Texas, with a slight risk for excessive rainfall that could lead to flash flooding from Wednesday night through Thursday morning.

Forecasters report rain chances between 70% and 80% as a disturbance develops over the region. A frontal passage on Thursday is expected to support heavier rainfall, with forecast totals ranging from 1 to 2 inches in some areas.

The Weather Prediction Center has placed portions of the region under a Slight Risk (15–40%) for excessive rainfall, mainly east of San Angelo.

Temperatures are expected to cool after the front moves through. Prior to that change, the San Angelo Regional Airport reached a new record high of 89 degrees Sunday afternoon, surpassing the previous Nov. 15 record of 87 set in 2021, according to the National Weather Service.
