CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Fri-yay!

Like many of the past couple of days, expect more dangerous heat this afternoon. Heat alerts will be in effect from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. Most of the Coastal Bend is under an Excessive Heat Warning and could experience 'feels like' temps above 120ºF.

Gusty southeast winds will return today, gusting as high a 35 mph. Winds are also making for dangerous surf conditions and a Small Craft Advisory is in effect until 10 p.m. Friday night. It's a good idea to limit outdoor activities, not only on account of heat, but Saharan dust still lingers overhead. Air quality will be reduced as a result and sensitive groups should avoid being outside.

Have a fantastic and safe weekend!
