With forecast tide levels expected to be around 2 ft above MSL with the next high tide cycle on Mon AM, minor coastal flooding will be a concern. Combined with a strong, persistent easterly wind, water levels could exceed 2 ft, increasing the likelihood of minor coastal flooding.

During a flood, water levels and the rate at which the water is flowing can quickly change. Get to higher ground. Do not drive or walk into water. It only takes 6 inches of water to knock you off your feet. weather.gov/safety/flood #WeatherReady

NOTICE: The City of Corpus Christi will participate in a statewide drill of public warning systems on Thursday, April 2, 2026, in coordination with the Texas Division of Emergency Management. The drill will take place between 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. and test the performance and reliability of alert and warning systems used during emergencies. Test messages may be delivered through mobile devices and other platforms, including emergency notification systems and additional communication tools. Residents may receive multiple test alerts during this time. A primary alert will be issued through IPAWS, and those enrolled in the Regional Reverse Alert system will also receive a notification. All messages are part of the exercise, and no action is required. This coordinated effort supports ongoing statewide preparedness. A designated testing window allows agencies to activate primary, alternate, and backup systems. After the drill, participating agencies will submit feedback, including observations and recommendations, to improve future operations. Any alerts received during this time frame are part of the planned drill. This is only a test. Residents are encouraged to confirm that emergency alerts are enabled on their mobile devices. #CorpusChristi #ReadyCC #EmergencyAlert #Drill

Expect a warm and sunny stretch to continue over the next 5 days with elevated fire weather conditions possible daily through Friday.

There is a threat of scattered severe storms this afternoon with the greatest threats being large hail and damaging winds. A cold front is expected to move into South Texas and stall maintaining the chance through Sunday morning.

On the fourth day of Severe Weather Awareness Week, we're highlighting severe thunderstorms. Severe Thunderstorms are defined by hail (1" or larger) or wind gusts (58+ mph). Don't forget the danger of lightning too! Know when severe storms are possible and be ready!

On the second day of Severe Weather Awareness Week, we're highlighting flood safety. Never underestimate the power of water! Floodwaters can rise and flow rapidly, sweeping away people and vehicles in an instant. The safest place to be is indoors or on higher ground.

On this first day of Severe Weather Awareness Week, we encourage you to have many ways to receive emergency alerts: 📻 NOAA Weather Radio 📺 Local News Media 📱 Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) on your cell phone 💻 Reliable websites like weather.gov and social media
