SAN ANGELO, Texas — August will end hot and humid across West Texas. Dew points are set to hover around 70 degrees throughout the day Monday, making it feel more like southeast Texas. 

Although humid, much of the day is set to remain dry with a mix of sun and clouds. Temperatures will climb to the upper 90s and low 100s. Monday evening, isolated showers are expected to develop in parts of the Big Country, along I-20.
