Here are the area latest hourly readings.

  (Updated: 5:30am Tuesday)  

A strong line of thunderstorms rolled through the area around 3:30am with very strong winds, heavy rain, and even some hail in some areas. This activity caught the ‘official forecasters’ by surprise. But then, what else is new..This will be the beginning of what looks like a wet pattern. There will be a lull in activity, but it will pick back up tomorrow, Wednesday.

Today will again be a good day to stay in the air conditioning if possible. Temperatures will be in the lower 90s with even higher temperatures to the west and southwest of Corpus Christi. Up in the San Antonio area will be in the mid-90s. Both areas will see gusty winds out of the southeast. Just a small chance for showers today in the region (20%).

Watch out for heat indices to 100-110 across South Texas through Tuesday. This will cause moderate to major risk of heat-related impacts. If working outside, drink plenty of water and take breaks as needed.

The big news for the region is the possibility of rain, even significant rain to some areas due to a cold front that will make it into Texas beginning late Tuesday night into Wednesday and progress through San Antonio and the Coastal Bend regions. Beginning to look like a wet trend for South and Central Texas through the weekend.

While widespread severe weather is not currently anticipated, strong thunderstorms and heavy rainfall will remain a possible concern for the second half of the week as forecast confidence is expected to increase for a widespread wetter pattern.

With the switch to a wetter pattern, the severe threat will also increase across Texas with all of South Texas under a Marginal Threat (level 1 of 5) for Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. The greatest threat will be large hail, damaging winds, and heavy rainfall. Make sure to have multiple to ways to receive alerts!

Total rainfall through Saturday looks to range at least from around 2.50" along the coast to around 5.00" over northern counties from La Salle to Victoria counties.

Of the 2 main weather models, the European model continues to be the most aggressive with total rain amounts in the watershed and towards the coast to be in the 2"-6" range throughout central and southern Texas so for the time being, going to go with the European model for this event.

Some examples of possible TOTAL amounts this week through next Sunday are
Corpus Christi 3”
Sinton 3”
Rockport 4.5”
Victoria 4”
Refugio 4.5”
George West 4.5”
Alice 3”
San Antonio 3”
Beeville 4”
Kingsville 2.5”

Please keep in mind that these totals are just projections from a long-range computer model and just something to watch, nothing else. Take it for what it is worth. Besides, we can always hope.

Good Ole Mother Nature seems to have a way of fooling us and the weather models.

As always, our website will monitor this.

We should at least begin to think about the upcoming 2026 Tropical Season. At least refamiliarize yourself with you plans if they become needed.

The Colorado State University released its first Hurricane Season Forecast of the 2026 Season back on April 9.

Please keep in mind that the Tropical forecast is NOT a forecast for any specific landfalls, just for the possible tropical formation. No matter what, always remember that it only take ONE storm.

There is a LOT of chatter regarding a potential Super El Niño and the 2026 Hurricane Season. Looks like it will have a significant impact on the Texas weather scene. Here is a Good Video On It.
