FORECAST: Saharan dust and Barry are the two weather features to watch this week (6-29-25)

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Sunday!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Saharan dust will reduce air quality
  • Tropical downpours linger Monday

Saharan dust is keeping hazy sunshine in our forecast and that's a problem for some who are sensitive to reduced air quality. The dust is mainly along the coast and will spread more inland by midweek. Until then, moisture and tropical downpours is association with Barry will continue into Monday. Some of this rain made it into our watershed today. While not a 'drought-buster' these brief, but intense downpours do help to chip away at our drought!

Our temperatures will likely be cooler into Monday thanks to another opportunity for meaningful rainfall! But as the remnants of Barry and upper-level help move on, so will the rain. Saharan dust will once again be the dominant weather feature in our forecast alter in the week. Independence Day will likely be dry, hot, and hazy.
