Corpus Christi, Texas – Thunderstorms are set to rumble across South Texas this afternoon and evening, bringing the threat of heavy rain, lightning, and heat indices topping 110 degrees in some inland locations.

Areas from Victoria to Laredo could see repeated rounds of lightning and brief downpours, while the Coastal Bend faces both heat and storm hazards.
In Corpus Christi, temperatures near 94 degrees combined with high humidity will push heat index values well over 100°.
