Corpus Christi, TX – As the weekend nears, Corpus Christi residents and visitors should prepare for a mix of thunderstorms and dangerous rip currents along the coast. The National Weather Service has issued alerts for a 50% chance of storms from Friday through Sunday, with the possibility of heavy rain and strong winds disrupting outdoor plans.
Beachgoers are especially urged to take precautions. The risk of rip currents will be high, particularly near piers and jetties. Swimming in these conditions can be extremely hazardous, and officials recommend swimming only in areas supervised by lifeguards. If caught in a rip current, remember to swim parallel to the shore to escape the pull.
With high temperatures expected to hover in the lower 90s, the combination of heat and humidity could create uncomfortable conditions for outdoor activities. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, seek shade, and monitor weather updates throughout the weekend.
For those with plans along the South Texas beaches, consider adjusting your itinerary or having backup plans in place. Stay informed by checking local forecasts regularly, and heed any warnings or advisories from local authorities to ensure a safe and enjoyable weekend.
