Corpus Christi, Texas – Scattered rain showers are expected to return across South Texas this week as temperatures climb close to 100 degrees, raising heat index values along the Coastal Bend. Drivers and beachgoers could face wet conditions, especially Friday and Saturday when storm chances peak at up to 40 percent.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, the best opportunities for rain will be across the Coastal Plains and Gulf waters, with inland areas staying mostly hot and dry. Afternoon highs from Victoria to Laredo will range from the upper 80s near the water to 97 inland, while lows hold steady in the upper 70s.
Storms may bring brief downpours, gusty winds, and lightning, which could disrupt outdoor activities and create slick road conditions. Rockport and Port Aransas beach areas will also need to watch for rip currents as onshore winds increase into the weekend.
