Corpus Christi, Texas – Dangerous heat continues to grip South Texas as high temperatures push into the triple digits through early next week, with peak inland highs reaching near 105° and only minimal chances for relief via afternoon storms.
According to the National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, coastal areas will remain slightly cooler with highs in the low 90s, but much of the region will face dry, oppressive heat each afternoon. Low rain chances—ranging from 10% to 30%—will mainly target the Coastal Plains during the late-day hours, with isolated thunderstorms potentially impacting travel and outdoor plans.
Cities like Alice, Kingsville, and Beeville are likely to hit 102° to 105°, while Rockport and Port Aransas will stay closer to 91°–92°. With overnight lows remaining in the upper 70s to near 80°, residents will see little overnight cooling. The heat index may exceed 110° inland, making heat exhaustion a growing risk.
Locals are urged to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity during peak sun hours, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Power demands may rise sharply, and outdoor work crews should follow heat safety protocols.
This prolonged heat pattern is expected to hold through at least Monday, with only slight day-to-day variation in temperatures and storm chances.
