CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Monday!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- Tropical downpours will wrap up by midweek
- Saharan dust will return midweek and reduce air quality
The tropical downpours were a welcome sight today. Rainfall was plentiful here locally, but also in the watershed. While not a 'drought-buster,' this rain will definitely benefit our suffering lake levels and dry soils.
Temperatures will likely be a bit cooler on Tuesday as the rest of the rain wraps up. Expect highs to top out near 90ºF, though in neighborhoods that see less rain, temps will be hotter. Saharan dust will take over the spotlight for the second half of the week. That means the Fourth of July holiday will likely be very hot, hazy, and humid. Plan to drink plenty of water! Air quality will also be a concern on account of the Saharan dust, which can be a respiratory irritant.
