Happy Saturday. No changes since this morning’s update. Next update, Sunday morning.

Here are the area latest hourly readings.

Temperatures currently from the upper 80s near the coast, to the 90s to the west and southwest of Corpus, and in the upper 80s up in San Antonio and over to Houston. The 'feel like temperatures' even higher with elevated heat index figures.

No real changes for Sunday either. Heat index figures will again be in the 90s to 100 degrees today with sunny skies. We will see breezy conditions with winds gusting to the mid and upper 20mph range.

As we mentioned yesterday, get ready for heat indices to 100-110 across 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. Will have low rain chances for the 1st part of next week. Then looking like changes on the way. There is a cold front that will make it into Texas beginning Wednesday and progress toward San Antonio and the Coastal Bend region.

Per 'Official Weather Sources', while widespread severe weather is not currently anticipated, strong thunderstorms and heavy rainfall will remain a possible concern for the second half of next week as forecast confidence is expected to increase for a widespread wetter pattern in some areas.

Currently, for the period of Tuesday evening through Saturday of next week, rainfall totals approach 1-3 inches across the region with locally higher amounts possible where stronger storms happen.

Both the American AND the European models, continue picking up on this as well.

Of the 2 models, the European model is the most aggressive with total rain amounts in the watershed and towards the coast to be in the 1"-2" range throughout most of central and southern Texas. 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.

As we always say, please keep in mind that weather models are computer-based and are subject to change. Good Ole Mother Nature seems to have a way of fooling us and the weather models.

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.
