CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — Happy Hump Day!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Today will be the most hazy of the week. The worst of the Saharan dust happens today, muting sunshine and reducing air quality. Today's level is in the "unhealthy for some" category and it's a good idea to limit time outdoors as a result.

Other than the dust, expect a hot afternoon with 'feels like' temperatures in the mid-100s. Breezy southeast winds 15-20 mph will gust as high as 25 mph. Hazy conditions linger overnight, but should gradually improve by the weekend. No meaningful rain is expected over the next week, but Corpus Christi is in a rainfall surplus of more than 2.5 inches for the year.
