| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 102pm CDT Fri Oct 3 2025 Issued at 1203pm CDT Fri Oct 3 2025 Subsidence from mid-to-upper-level ridging over Mexico will dominate through early next week. Additionally, a weak mid-level low over the Gulf continues to shift eastward, keeping the bulk of deeper moisture displaced away from South Texas. As a result, rain chances remain limited in the short term, though isolated activity cannot be ruled out near the coast where higher moisture occasionally interacts with the afternoon sea breeze and pockets of PVA rotating around the backside of the low. The best chances will stay offshore and along the immediate coast, but isolated to scattered showers may spread inland by next week as onshore flow strengthens. Afternoon Probability of Precipitation will range from 20-30%, and while PWATs (Precipitable Waters) are near normal for this time of year, slow moving convection could still produce brief localized downpours. Marine and coastal hazards will be the primary concern this weekend. Strengthening northeasterly winds and long swell periods will lead to elevated seas and a persistent rip current risk. With a full moon this weekend, astronomical high tides combined with swell energy may result in minor coastal flooding with water levels potentially approaching the dunes. Therefore, a Coastal Flood Advisory and a HIGH risk of rip currents are in effect through Sunday morning. Beachgoers should exercise caution, as conditions could be hazardous! Temperatures will remain above normal, with highs in the low to mid-90s across the region and upper 90s possible over the Brush Country. Overnight lows will range from the upper 60s inland to the mid-70s near the coast. Marine Issued at 1203pm CDT Fri Oct 3 2025 A moderate to fresh east-northeasterly breeze (BF 4-5) will persist through the weekend. This uptick in winds will lead to an increase in wave heights, with seas of 4-5 feet expected by this evening, creating borderline SCEC/SCA (Small Craft Advisory) conditions. The easterly wind component, elevated seas, and long swell periods will lead to an increased rip current risk. With a full moon this weekend, astronomical high tides combined with the above mentioned features may result in minor coastal flooding as well with water levels potentially approaching the dunes. Winds will decrease to a gentle to moderate breeze (BF 3-4) Sunday morning and shift back to an east-southeasterly flow. Low to medium (20-60%) rain and thunderstorm chances remain in the forecast through Saturday night before decreasing to low (20-40%) rain chances beginning Sunday into the work week. Fire Weather Issued at 1232am CDT Fri Oct 3 2025 Afternoon minimum relative humidity will generally range from 30-35% across the Rio Grande Plains today. Moisture increases Saturday into next week with minimum relative humidity above 30%. Although Energy Release Component ranges from 50th-90th percentile, weak surface and 20 ft winds and increased moisture will limit the fire risk. Slightly above normal temperatures will continue with low (20-30%) shower and thunderstorm chances today continuing daily into the middle of next week, mainly along the afternoon seabreeze over the Coastal Plains.
