Corpus Christi, TX – South Texans should prepare for periods of heavy rain beginning Wednesday evening and lasting through Friday, raising the risk of localized flooding.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Corpus Christi, widespread rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches are expected, with localized amounts up to 4 inches possible in the heaviest storms. The greatest impacts are likely in urban areas, creeks, low-lying locations, and along roadways where water can quickly pond.
The timing of the rain is most likely to begin late Wednesday afternoon, with scattered showers and storms continuing into Thursday and Friday. While the rainfall will not be continuous, multiple rounds of storms may develop, especially in areas closer to the coast.
NWS forecasters cautioned that even moderate rainfall could lead to dangerous flash flooding if storms repeatedly move across the same locations. A “reasonable worst-case scenario” could bring totals over 4 inches in some spots, particularly around Corpus Christi, Rockport, and Victoria.
Drivers are urged to use caution, avoid water-covered roads, and remember the safety warning: “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.”
