Fort Concho celebrates Western heritage with upcoming events
Fort Concho will host two events in late July that celebrate two very important aspects of our shared western heritage in San Angelo. American Plains Artists Summer Art Show On Saturday, the fort celebrates National Cowboy Day at the American Plains Artists Summer Art Show in Barracks 6, starting with a light continental breakfast at 9 a.m. At 9:30 a.m., Laura Huckaby, curator at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts, will give a gallery talk on the show that features 55 paintings from the six artists chosen as the best by guests at last year's show. At 10 a.m. the Concho Cowboy Company will present one of their skits in the nearby courtyard. This event is free to all. The art show remains open that day until 4 p.m. All of the paintings are for sale with proceeds supporting the artists and Fort Concho. The event is part of dozens of programs across the nation marking the heritage and traditions of the American Cowboy on this day. Members of the Concho Cowboy Company lead young audience members in a pledge to be law-abiding citizens after the actors performed their skit, 'The Bank Robbery," at Fort Concho in San Angelo on Saturday, April 26, 2025. The fort's annual Frontier Day showcased aspects of pioneer life in the early days of the Concho Valley. Buffalo Soldiers anniversary On Monday, the fort and the Buffalo Soldiers West Texas Memorial will mark the 159th anniversary of the Act of Congress that created four all-Black infantry and cavalry regiments that served with distinction across the American West after the Civil War. All four regiments served at Fort Concho between 1869 and 1885 with the famed 10th Cavalry having its headquarters at Fort Concho between 1875 and 1882. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Ronnie D Hawkins Jr, president of Angelo State University, will give the program at the memorial at 5:30 p.m., followed by an opportunity to view the fort's Buffalo Soldier exhibits across the street in Barracks 1. The event is free to all. For more information, call Fort Concho at 325-481-2646.

Which Texas city has had the coolest temps this summer? Here's the breakdown.
When you think of a Texas summer, you probably envision bright, unrelenting sunshine and daily triple-digit temperatures. This summer has been different, though. Persistent rainfall and widespread cloud cover have kept temperatures significantly cooler than expected across much of the state. Since the start of meteorological summer on June 1, most of Texas has recorded slightly below-average temperatures. Of the state's 22 metropolitan areas with a population of at least 100,000, 18 have recorded cooler-than-normal conditions. That included San Antonio, which has had an average high temp of 92.4 degrees this summer — 1.6 degrees below average. What's the coolest spot in the state, though? That honor belongs to Amarillo, which has recorded an average high temperature of 87.3 degrees. However, that's really no surprise, due to Amarillo's northern position in the Texas Panhandle. The more unexpected standout is San Angelo, which is located in the Concho Valley. The city has recorded an average high temperature of just 90.6 degrees so far this summer, an impressive 4.8 degrees below average. That's the most below-average of any city in Texas this summer. Amarillo comes in second, followed by Wichita Falls and Waco. The only Texas metro areas which have recorded above average-temperatures this summer are Brownsville, Houston, Corpus Christi and El Paso. Central Texas weather forecast for the upcoming week High pressure will shift slightly to the west, resulting in temperatures rising slightly higher across Central and South Texas. The hottest days of the week are expected to be Tuesday through Thursday. Austin is likely to reach the upper 90s each day. Low temperatures will stay consistent, falling into the mid- to upper 70s each morning. Long-range weather models are showing a low chance of tropical development in the Gulf by the late week. This could bring a chance of scattered showers and storms into South Texas by next weekend. Uncertainty is still very high with this potential Gulf disturbance, so it's definitely not time to push the alarm.

'Heartbreaking': Flood leaves San Angelo community in ruins. See photos of the damage
A record 14 inches of rainfall early on the Fourth of July morning left many residents in San Angelo and Tom Green County evacuating their homes in a scramble to safety. From north of Loop 306 to FM Road 2105 along North Chadbourne Street saw slow rising flooding from the initial rainfall. Homes and buildings were submerged in waters as deep as 15 feet in some places. Due to the slower drainage on the north side of town, combined with the historic rainfall amount, the overflow water surged southeast down the San Angelo east draw. The water from the draw flowed quickly, submerging the highway below the Bell Street overpass and engulfing multiple cars and a fire truck.

The flowing water increased in intensity through the San Angelo east draw and down Bell Street and Pulliam Street, sweeping away cars and homes along with other large debris. The water continued flowing southeast, damaging structures and flooding streets as far west as North Pope Street and as far east as Goodfellow Air Force Base. Damage from the flooding was reported as far south as the South Concho River near the Texas Bank Sports Complex.
