South Texas will endure another day of scorching temperatures on Thursday, with highs expected to soar into the mid-90s along the I-37 corridor. Areas like Corpus Christi, Beeville, and Rockport are likely to experience some of the highest temperatures, with little relief in sight until the weekend. Residents and travelers are urged to take precautions as the heatwave persists.
According to the National Weather Service, Thursday will remain mostly dry, but the forecast shows a significant chance of rain entering the area by Saturday. Coastal regions, including Corpus Christi and Port Lavaca, may see scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms as the weekend progresses. These storms could bring much-needed relief from the heat but may also lead to localized flooding in low-lying areas.
Emergency officials advise staying hydrated, limiting outdoor activities during the heat of the day, and keeping an eye on local weather alerts, particularly for weekend plans. Motorists along I-37 should be cautious of slick roads during potential rainfall.
Looking ahead, the forecast suggests slightly cooler temperatures with highs in the mid-80s by Sunday, offering a brief respite from the intense heat. However, residents should remain prepared for fluctuating weather conditions over the weekend.
