CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Weekend! Stay cool this weekend!!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Major to extreme risk of heat-related illness
'Feels like' temps hotter than 110ºF expected this weekend
Saharan dust is here
Rain returns next week
Afternoon highs will be near-record again today. This afternoon will feel different though as our hottest temps occur later in the afternoon, meaning more time 'pre-heating' and a higher heat risk. Temps will top out in the upper 90s, lower 100s inland; high humidity will push 'feels like' temps to the 110s this weekend, so heat alerts are likely to be issued Saturday and Sunday. Heat safety should be top of mind! Check in on kids, pets, and the elderly—they are most prone to heat-related illness. Don't leave anyone or anything in a hot vehicle!
