Corpus Christi, TX – Tropical funnel clouds could develop today across the Coastal Bend region, impacting areas including Corpus Christi, Port Aransas, and Rockport. Light winds and tropical moisture make conditions favorable for these weak funnel clouds, which typically don’t reach the ground. Residents are advised to stay alert this afternoon and seek shelter immediately if any funnel clouds are spotted.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Corpus Christi, a trained weather spotter reported a brief funnel cloud earlier today between Gregory and Port Aransas. The NWS urges people to stay cautious, especially when traveling on major roadways like TX-35 and TX-361, as funnel clouds may form rapidly.
This weather alert will remain active through early afternoon. Coastal residents should be prepared for changing weather conditions and stay updated on any further warnings. Looking ahead, Saturday’s forecast predicts clearer skies with mild temperatures in the low 80s, offering a brief respite from today’s unsettled conditions. However, scattered showers could return early next week. Stay tuned for updates throughout the weekend.
