Corpus Christi, Texas – Dangerous heat will push high temperatures to 103°F across parts of South Texas on Tuesday, with a brief dry spell ending by midweek as storm chances increase heading into Juneteenth.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, cities like Laredo, Cotulla, and Freer will see triple-digit highs Tuesday and Wednesday. Rain chances remain low—only 10–20%—through Wednesday, but a moist Gulf flow will bring scattered thunderstorms back to the region beginning Thursday.
By Wednesday night into Thursday, storm chances rise to 60% in areas including Beeville, Rockport, and Port Lavaca. On-and-off showers and thunderstorms are expected through Saturday, with locally heavy downpours possible, especially in coastal areas. Flash flooding isn’t expected at this time, but minor street flooding could occur in urban zones with poor drainage.
Residents should limit outdoor activity during peak afternoon hours, stay hydrated, and use air conditioning when possible. Beachgoers should remain alert for lightning and check rip current risks along Gulf beaches near Port Aransas and Bob Hall Pier.
Rain chances and lower daytime highs continue into the weekend. More advisories could be issued if rainfall totals increase.
