CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Thursday!
It's a humid, breezy morning here in the Coastal Bend, foreshadowing what's to come this afternoon. We are wrapping up what is typically the hottest week of the year, and boy, have we felt it! Heat alerts are on deck to begin at noon today, going until 8 p.m. Most of the Coastal Bend is under an Excessive Heat Warning, those who are not will be under a Heat Advisory. Be sure you limit your time outdoors this afternoon.
Also, expect very gusty conditions! Southeast wind will be 15-25 mph; gusts up to 40 miles per hour are possible. Due to strong winds, we'll have a moderate risk of rip currents along out gulf facing beaches.
Have a terrific day!
