Here are the area latest hourly readings.

We start out this morning at 6am with temperatures in the 70s from the coast up to San Antonio and over to Houston with 'feel like temperatures' even higher with elevated heat index figures. The combined Corpus Christi watershed level is 8.3% as of this morning.

Heat index figures will be in the 90s+ today with sunny skies with some clouds developing Sunday. Winds this weekend will be rather gusty (around the 25mph range) out of the southeast.

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

Now, as to rain. Do not get your hopes up yet, but, per both the American AND the European models as well as other weather sources, looks like the next best chance of rain could develop mid to late next week .

Of the 2 models, the European model is the most aggressive as to total rain amounts in the watershed and towards the coast. The American model, while agreeing with rain, tends to keep the bulk of rain accumulations more to the north of the Corpus Christi region and watershed.

Beginning around Thursday of next week, all models are strongly hinting of a wetter than normal trend as to rain. As stated, the European model is the most aggressive with this, with the American model again keeping the bulk of rain to the north and northwest of the Corpus Christi region. As to the period of 22 May through the end of the month of May, both models are indicating areas of a total 4+ inches of rain. Again, the question is in what areas of Texas.

Now that your hopes of rain are up, please keep in mind that weather models are computer-based. As such, forecast over 3 days into the future should really be taken with a grain of salt, especially those based on weather models. As we always say, Good Ole Mother Nature has a way of fooling us and the weather models. At least we can hope.

As always, our website will monitor this.

Now that we are in mid May, 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.
