CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Monday!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- Temps hotter than usual
- Rain chances look slim
- Quiet in the Tropics right now
Get ready for another round of heat... this time prolonged. As temperatures remain a few degrees above average, fluctuating humidity will make for both 'dry heat' and 'humid heat' this week. Please practice heat safety! Heat can be dangerous, even if heat alerts are not issued. Prolonged period of hot conditions can be especially had on kids, pets, and the elderly. Stay cool!
Drier air will lead to a cooler morning and even some patchy fog for Tuesday. Under sunny skies, temps will rise quickly to the middle 90s across most of the Coastal Bend. Temps will be hottest west of Highway 281, but coastal neighborhoods will likely feel as hot thanks to ample humidity. This trend continues all week with most neighborhoods in a 'feels like' temperature range from 105-109ºF. This will be more pronounced later in the week when things get very muggy. Since we are sitting under high pressure, we won't be about to put any of that humidity to good use as rain. Rain chances look pretty slim for the Coastal Bend, though there may be some in the forecast for the Victoria Crossroads.
