Corpus Christi, Texas – Thunderstorms and sizzling heat will dominate much of South Texas through the end of the week, bringing repeated rounds of heavy rain and lightning along with triple-digit temperatures.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, a trough of low pressure along the coast is fueling daily storm chances, with rain coverage peaking Thursday at 70%. Areas across the Victoria Crossroads and Coastal Plains should be prepared for storms capable of producing localized flooding and dangerous lightning through Saturday.
Highs will continue to push between 95 and 103 degrees Wednesday and Thursday, though added cloud cover and rainfall may bring some relief late in the week. Friday holds a 55% storm chance, while Saturday sees a 45% risk across the Coastal Plains before coverage eases into Sunday.
Drivers should plan for sudden downpours reducing visibility and ponding on roads, especially during afternoon and evening commutes. Residents are urged to limit outdoor activity in the heat, stay hydrated, and avoid flooded areas.
Rain chances remain in the forecast through the weekend, with additional advisories possible if storms strengthen.
