Corpus Christi, TX – South Texas residents can expect near-normal late summer weather today with hot temperatures, very high UV levels, and only limited rain chances, according to the National Weather Service.
Temperatures across the region will peak in the mid-90s to near 100 degrees Friday, with a heat index ranging from 100–105°F. Corpus Christi is forecast to reach 89 degrees, while inland areas such as Laredo and Tilden may climb to 97–98 degrees.
According to the National Weather Service, isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible across the Rio Grande Plains and near Corpus Christi, with rain chances ranging between 20% and 55%. Most of the Coastal Bend, however, will remain dry.
Along area beaches, forecasters report sunny skies with a low risk of rip currents. Wave heights are expected near 3 feet, and water temperatures will be in the upper 80s. Beachgoers should be cautious of the very high UV index, which poses a risk for sunburn in under 15 minutes without protection.
Looking ahead, near-normal heat continues through the weekend, with only low chances of rain. The best opportunity for more widespread showers will arrive early next week, when storm chances increase to 30–40% by Tuesday and Wednesday.
