Texas – Humid air is settling in across Corpus Christi this morning, and while skies remain quiet now, a weekend shift is already taking shape. A cold front will push into South Texas, bringing a steady increase in rain chances that could impact travel plans by Saturday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, there is a 30% to 60% chance that rainfall totals exceed 1 inch across much of the region through the weekend into early next week. Higher totals above 2 inches remain less likely but cannot be ruled out in isolated areas.
Across Corpus Christi, Kingsville, and Victoria, conditions stay warm and breezy through midweek before clouds thicken heading into the weekend. By Saturday, scattered showers begin developing, with periods of rain continuing into Sunday and Monday.
Drivers along I-37 and Highway 77 should prepare for wet roads and reduced visibility during heavier showers. While widespread flooding is not expected due to dry ground conditions, localized ponding could still occur during brief downpours.
This system brings a noticeable cooldown as well, offering a more comfortable start to April after recent warmth. Keep umbrellas nearby and plan around changing conditions if traveling this weekend.
Rain chances increase steadily as the weekend approaches. Are you preparing for wet roads or hoping the rain holds off where you are?
