CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Wednesday!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
- Heat Risk increases through the weekend
If you thought the first half of this week was hot, hold on to your air conditioner. It's only going to feel hotter, with actual air temps slowly climbing to the middle to upper 90s and oppressive humidity. Expect more "air-you-can-wear" mornings as we wrap up this week. Stay cool out there and check in on kids, pets, and the elderly—they are most prone to heat-related illness. Don't leave anyone or anything in a hot vehicle!
Are you feeling a bit stuffy? The first few rounds of Saharan dust have arrived; the next significant batch looks to be here on Saturday. The dust can act as a respiratory irritant and often hinders rain chances. Thankfully, these rounds of dust are not very thick, are short-lived, and likely won't stick around into next week when our next opportunity for rain arrives. I'm tracking the chance for isolated to scattered showers as early as Monday night.
