Corpus Christi, Texas – Heavy rain sweeping across South Texas today is raising concerns over flash flooding, with the National Weather Service warning of localized flooding hazards through tonight. The Weather Prediction Center placed the region under a marginal risk for excessive rainfall, meaning even a brief downpour could overwhelm drainage systems.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, the heaviest rainfall is expected along the Coastal Bend and inland toward cities like Beeville, Victoria, and George West. Urban areas and low-lying roadways face the greatest risk, with conditions expected to deteriorate during the evening commute.
Motorists are urged to avoid driving through flooded intersections and to allow extra time for travel. Emergency officials also caution that heavy rain could impact neighborhoods near creeks and drainage ditches, where water rises quickly.
The rainfall threat is expected to ease late tonight, though additional rounds of showers remain possible into Wednesday. Forecasters note that new advisories may be issued if flooding worsens.
