WATCH: Experts Weigh-In on Why Rain Goes Around San Angelo

SAN ANGELO – It's no secret that San Angelo is in the middle of a drought. It officially summer and the spring showers were close but just did not hit us. One storm in particular seemed to even completely circle San Angelo without a drop of rain. 

Many people have conspiracy theories about why that happens. Some say people aren't living the right way while others make hints of an Indian burial ground. San Angelo LIVE! got to the bottom of it by bring the experts in on LIVE!, SA LIVE!'s daily news cast.

During the show, editor-in-chief Yantis Green spoke with Amy Campbell with the National Weather Service office in San Angelo. In the interview they spoke about a number of topics including the infamous "San Angelo bubble." 

Unfortunately for the conspiracy theorists out there its looks as if the bubble may not be what it seems.

"It's actually an artifact on how the radar samples the atmosphere," said Campbell. "So out at a distance a radar beam is much wider so it can't see the breaks or the spaces between storms. But as the storms move closer the radar beam is narrower and it can see those spaces between storms."

For more on the interview see the video above. The interview segment begins at around the 8:30 mark.
