<p>Multiple Flash Flood Emergencies were issued Friday morning and again Saturday morning as heavy rainfall moved through portions of the Texas Hill Country. Several locations accumulated over a foot of rainfall in a short amount of time, including San Angelo, which recorded almost 13" of rainfall. The yearly average of rainfall for San Angelo is around 21".</p><div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1941655838403526721" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/1941655838403526721"></div><h1>FRIDAY</h1><p>As storms ignited Friday, they were largely anchored in the same position all night.

<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: #454545;">Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

Invest 96E or the orange highlighted area has a medium chance of development in the next couple of days. The chances have backed off as it appears less likely that something will come together. The region outlined in yellow is for another low pressure system expected to form later in the week.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/tomer e pac summar-1751825582462.jpg">The spaghetti plots show 96-E remaining well south of Mexico as it churns westward.

<p>Tropical Storm Chantal formed earlier Saturday morning, and made landfall early Sunday morning with sustained winds of 50 mph.

<p>Guess who's back. The heat and humidity will turn up a notch to kick off the week. Some areas will feel close to 100  when you factor in the humidity. As we've seen plenty so far this year, heat and humidity can power some serious storms in the afternoon and evening hours. All we need is something to light the fuse.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/07/Screenshot 2025-07-06 070542-1751807151783.png">A cold front will drop in, helping focus thunderstorm chances each of the next 3 days.
