People in South Texas, including those in Corpus Christi and the Rio Grande Valley, are being asked to stay alert this weekend. A tropical system forming in the Bay of Campeche may develop into a tropical storm and could bring rain and rough weather to the region early next week.
70% Chance of Storm Formation
The National Hurricane Center has reported a 70% chance that the disturbance off southern Mexico will turn into a tropical depression or storm before moving inland on Monday. While the system is mainly heading toward eastern Mexico, weather experts warn that parts of South Texas could still be affected.
Possible Effects in Texas
Cities like Brownsville, Harlingen, and McAllen may experience increased rainfall or rough surf as early as Sunday night. These effects depend on the storm’s exact path and development, which are still being closely watched. As of now, no tropical warnings or alerts have been issued for Texas.
Stay Prepared, Especially Along the Coast
If you’re planning to travel or spend time outdoors along the coast this weekend, it’s best to stay updated with weather forecasts. Keep an eye on local news, secure any outdoor items, and prepare for the possibility of wet and windy weather by Monday.
A tropical system near the Gulf of Mexico is showing signs of development and could affect parts of South Texas, including the Rio Grande Valley. While the main storm track is expected to stay south, rain and rough surf may still reach Texas. No official warnings have been issued yet, but it’s smart to remain weather-aware and be ready for changing conditions.
