Corpus Christi, TX – A tropical weather system moving through the northwestern Caribbean could bring minimal impacts to Corpus Christi this week, including higher-than-normal tides and increased wave activity. The National Hurricane Center is monitoring a tropical depression expected to form soon, though South Texas is not expected to face significant effects from the storm.
According to the National Weather Service, conditions will worsen slightly by mid-week as the system moves into the Gulf of Mexico, creating hazardous marine conditions. While the storm is unlikely to make direct landfall, residents should be cautious of rip currents and elevated water levels, particularly near coastal highways like Highway 35.
Today’s forecast includes clear skies and highs nearing 90°F, but coastal areas could experience changing weather patterns later in the week. By Tuesday, local beaches may see stronger surf and possible erosion as the system strengthens offshore. The community is urged to stay alert for further weather updates and avoid swimming in high-wave zones. The week’s temperatures will remain in the upper 80s, with little rain expected. However, those living in flood-prone areas should remain vigilant.
