Good afternoon,

Here’s the latest on the weather coming in this evening.

We’re forecasted to get 1-3 inches between about 8 PM this evening and tomorrow. TDEM has a swift water team staged in San Angelo, and there are marginal chances across the region for flash flooding.

There is an evacuation plan for the football game to take the home fans to the Community Center and the visiting fans to the High School Gym should it be needed. The game has been moved up to kickoff at 5:30 PM to get it in ahead of the weather.

There’s also a slight chance of tornados, and should it be needed we’ll open the Courthouse for shelter.

Stay safe,
Judge Corbin
