CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy TWeekend!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Severe storms possible Saturday night - Sunday morning

Rain!
Multiple rounds of rainfall are expected here in the Coastal Bend for the first half of Spring Break. While a few passing showers are possible on Saturday morning, a batch of thunderstorms will arrive on Saturday evening. The exact timing of these storms will be hard to pinpoint, but make plans to be indoors after sunset. The greatest risk for severe thunderstorms will be from Saturday night into Sunday morning.

Severe Outlook
Severe Storm likely Saturday PM - Sunday AM

Combined, both rounds of rain should gift us with 1-2" rainfall locally, and as much as 3-5" in the northern watershed. Nearly a year ago, on March 27, 2025, Corpus Christi International Airport received more than two inches of rainfall in a single day. That's more rain than Corpus Christi has seen in all of 2026.
