| Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX 126pm CDT Tuesday August 11 2026 Issued at 123pm CDT Tuesday August 11 2026 A mid-level ridge centered over the northern Gulf Coast will continue to enforce hot and generally rain-free conditions through Thursday. We'll see those streamer clouds moving northward daily, with an occasional shower as the seabreeze pushes in, but moisture will remain near or below normal for August. An inverted shortwave trough will ride the southwestern edge of the ridge Friday, extending into South Texas. This will increase moisture to around the 75th percentile (2.0" PWAT) and with mid-level vorticity support, warrant mentionable shower and thunderstorm chances across the Coastal Plains (20%). Enhanced moisture can linger into Saturday, and allow a few more showers and thunderstorms to develop. Mid-level high pressure will move westward into the ARKLATEX (Arkansas/Louisiana/Texas) region and promote another stretch of hot and mainly rain-free conditions. Heat will remain our primary concern across South Texas. Each afternoon will be flirting with Heat Advisory criteria, with peak heat indices of 110-115 but uncertainties on the duration. No matter what, it will be hot and precautions are necessary for the moderate to major risk of heat-related impacts intact. Heat safety measures are encouraged, please remember to look before you lock and limit outdoor exposure. Marine Issued at 123pm CDT Tuesday August 11 2026 Moderate southeasterly flow will persist through this week for most of the waters. Bays and waters along the coast south of Port Aransas will have a fresh breeze during the afternoon and evening hours. Small Craft Advisories may be necessary Wednesday and Thursday for the aforementioned area. Winds weaken slightly heading into the weekend.
