Corpus Christi, Texas – South Texas is in for another stretch of intense summer heat, with afternoon temperatures climbing into the upper 90s and lower 100s through much of the workweek. Rain-free conditions will dominate until late Friday, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses for anyone spending extended time outdoors.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, highs will range from 93 to 107 degrees Tuesday, followed by highs of 95 to 106 degrees Wednesday and 95 to 105 degrees Thursday. Overnight temperatures will offer little relief, remaining in the 70s to lower 80s.
Cities across the Coastal Bend and South Texas, including Corpus Christi, Alice, Kingsville, Beeville, Rockport and Victoria, can expect abundant sunshine and persistent heat. Rain chances return Friday with a 35% chance of showers and thunderstorms before decreasing slightly to 25% Saturday, offering some relief from the prolonged hot weather.
Beachgoers along the Gulf Coast will find mostly sunny conditions today with southerly winds around 15 mph, water temperatures in the mid-80s and wave heights of 2 to 3 feet. The rip current risk remains low, but the National Weather Service warns that the UV index will be extreme, making sun protection essential even during short periods outdoors.
Anyone heading outside should stay hydrated, wear lightweight clothing, limit strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day and use sunscreen frequently. Swimmers should continue exercising caution near piers and jetties, where dangerous currents can still develop despite the overall low rip current risk. Additional weather updates are expected as rain chances increase heading into the weekend.
