Corpus Christi, Texas – Relentless heat and dry air will dominate South Texas weather through the weekend, with heat index values soaring to 109°F and Saharan Dust expected to suppress rain chances starting Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, Wednesday will bring a 45% chance of showers before drier air and a new plume of Saharan Dust reduce precipitation odds Thursday through Saturday. High temperatures will remain in the upper 90s, with heat index readings consistently ranging from 103° to 109° each afternoon.
Beachgoers along the Gulf Coast should also watch for potential rip currents, though the risk remains low for now. South winds near 15 mph and wave heights between 2 to 3 feet are forecast, with UV levels listed as “extreme.”
Residents are urged to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during peak heat, and keep an eye on vulnerable populations. The combination of dust, heat, and minimal rain mirrors similar July patterns seen in previous summers across the region.
High heat will persist into early next week, with only slight rain chances returning by Sunday. More advisories may be issued as the Saharan Dust lingers.
