Corpus Christi, TX — South Texas residents should brace for a mix of high heat and potential thunderstorms as the weekend approaches. Starting Friday, temperatures are expected to climb into the upper 90s, with the heat index reaching as high as 100°F or more across the region.
According to the National Weather Service, Friday and Saturday will remain mostly clear, but the heat will persist. Residents are advised to take precautions by staying hydrated, limiting outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and wearing light, breathable clothing. Those spending time outdoors should also be aware of the high UV index, increasing the risk of sunburns and heat-related illnesses.
The weather is expected to shift by Sunday, with isolated thunderstorms forecasted to bring scattered showers to the region. These storms may provide some relief from the heat but could also bring localized flooding to low-lying areas. The rain is predicted to continue into Monday, so residents should prepare for changing conditions.
South Texans planning outdoor activities this weekend are urged to monitor weather updates and adjust plans accordingly to avoid any dangerous weather events. Keep an eye on potential storm warnings and heat advisories throughout the weekend.
