Corpus Christi, Texas – Triple-digit heat is gripping South Texas this week, with heat indices climbing toward 110 degrees and only isolated afternoon showers to bring relief. Daily sea breeze-driven storms will continue, but most areas will stay hot and humid until heavier rain chances arrive this weekend.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, highs will range from the mid-90s to 105 degrees through Saturday, creating moderate to major heat stress. A 20% chance of tropical development in the northwestern Caribbean could steer a system into the southwestern Gulf by Thursday, bringing increased rainfall potential and stronger coastal impacts by late weekend.
Local impacts could include heavy downpours, dangerous rip currents, higher swells, and possible coastal flooding. Mariners and swimmers should use extra caution, and residents are urged to limit strenuous activity during peak afternoon heat, stay hydrated, and check on vulnerable neighbors.
The heat will persist into early next week, even as rain and cloud cover offer brief periods of relief. Additional advisories are possible as the tropical system’s path becomes clearer.
