Here is the current
Regional Radar

Radar shows some thunderstorm activity in the Port Lavaca area with pockets of heavy rain. This activity is moving to the north. Other than that, quiet in the Corpus Christi Region.

Rain chances are forcast to become lower as dryer air returns to the region. Of course, there will continue to be the possibility for sea breeze related thunderstorms.

Once again heavy rain over in the Uvalde area where there are numerous watches and warnings at this time. Between 6 and 16 inches of rain have fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are possible in the warned area. Life threatening flash flooding is occurring. This activity is pretty much staionary.

The BIG question is, How will the above mentioned rain impact the Corpus Christi watershed? It will take some time but it will have a positive impact.

Here is a map of the
Corpus Christi Watershed area.

As to the tropics, while the National Hurricane Center (NHC) is showing 2 areas of possible development, we have nothing to be concernned with over the next 10 days in Texas. Full details on our Tropical Page.

On a personal note from this website, we here in the Corpus region should take special note of the amounts of rain over the last days in areas to our west and northwest that will affect our watershed here in this area.

Meteorologists and climate scientists are coming into agreement that a rare and powerful "super" or "very strong" El Niño is taking shape, characterized by tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures projected to exceed 2° C above normal. There are odds-on predictions that this weather event could become the strongest on record

If this comes to reality, we will see a dramatic change in our current drought situation. Not a total cure to our drought, but rather a temporary reprieve.

All of the local governments need to take this a a blessing in disguise and get our collective act together. In other words, Corpus Christi, the various water districts, and all of the local municipalities, quit acting independently and start acting collectively. That's how we all achieve success for all citizens.
