The episode as NWS SJT wrote it up.
Afternoon highs reached well above 100 degrees across a large part of West Central Texas. San Angelo measured the highest temperature at 109 degrees. A cold front moving south across the region triggered thunderstorms across a large part of West Central Texas. Several of these storms produced damaging thunderstorm winds that resulted in damage. The City of San Angelo was hardest hit. This information is contained in its own separate episode. As a line of damaging thunderstorms winds formed northwest of Grape Creek, this line continued to move south and resulted in wind damage across Grape Creek, San Angelo, Eldorado and Ozona.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service San Angelo TX 345 PM CDT Fri Jun 23 2017 .SHORT TERM... (Today and Tonight) Another hot day across West Central Texas, with both the upper level ridge in place as well as the low level thermal ridge. Temperatures currently 103 to 109 across the southern 2/3 of West Central Texas, with San Angelo hitting 109 and breaking the previous record by 3 degrees. A Heat Advisory remains in effect across much of this area until 8 PM. Also, isolated storms have developed close to a cold front across the South Plains, just northwest of the Big Country. Looks like best chance for scattered thunderstorms will be across the Big Country this evening, possibly as far south to along a San Angelo to Brownwood line, according to Hi-Res models. A few strong to marginal severe storms are possible, with the main hazards of wind gusts of 50 to 55 mph, small hail and dangerous lightning. Going with the highest Pops across the Big Country(likely) and chance Pops further south. The cold front will move south across the area tonight, and be located just north of the I-10 corridor by Saturday morning. Lows will range from the mid to upper 60s across the Big Country to lower to mid 70s elsewhere. For Saturday, expect much cooler temperatures with highs mainly in the 80s. Also, the combination of weak instability and abundant low level moisture will result in scattered showers and thunderstorms. The main hazards will be dangerous lightning and gusty winds. .LONG TERM... (Saturday night through Friday) Cooler Saturday night into Monday with weak surface high pressure over the region. Scattered showers and thunderstorms expected with northwest flow aloft and upslope easterly surface winds. Severe storms are not expected with GFS SBCAPES around 1500 J/KG Sunday and Monday, though a strong thunderstorm or two possible. Upper ridging builds in Tuesday with surface winds shifting the south. Isolated thunderstorms possible Tuesday, but dry and warming conditions will continue Wednesday into Friday as upper ridging redevelops. A cold front may approach the region late Friday night and bring a thunderstorm or two in the Big Country, but confidence is low at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
