Corpus Christi, Texas – Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected across South Texas through the weekend, with the heaviest rainfall likely on Thursday. The National Weather Service in Corpus Christi reports that a trough of low pressure will keep storm chances high each day, bringing some relief from extreme heat but also raising concerns for localized flooding.
According to the National Weather Service, rainfall coverage could reach 75% Thursday, with storms producing pockets of heavy downpours that may impact travel on highways including I-37 and U.S. 77. Rain chances remain elevated Friday at 70% before slowly tapering into early next week.
Temperatures will gradually decline as cloud cover builds, with highs ranging from the low 90s to near 100 through Monday. While Corpus Christi and the Coastal Plains remain under scattered storm potential, areas such as the Victoria Crossroads could see stronger storms Saturday afternoon.
Residents are urged to avoid driving through flooded roads, secure outdoor items ahead of storms, and monitor power outages during periods of heavy lightning. More updates and possible advisories are expected as storm chances persist into next week.
