Corpus Christi, TX – Rainfall totals across the region reached between 1 and 4 inches as of around 6:41 PM CDT Sunday, bringing much-needed moisture but also creating slick road conditions for drivers across South Texas.
According to the US National Weather Service in Corpus Christi, most areas saw 1 to 2 inches of rain, particularly across the Brush Country and Southern Coastal Plains, while a band of heavier rainfall between 2 and 4 inches developed in parts of the watershed. Officials noted that much of the rain has been absorbed into the ground, meaning minimal immediate improvement in reservoir levels despite the higher totals.
Drivers along major roadways including I-37, US-181, and local coastal routes in Nueces County may experience reduced visibility and slick pavement, especially during evening and overnight hours. While widespread flooding is not currently expected, isolated ponding on roads could impact travel times.
Forecasters say additional rainfall of about 1 inch is expected area-wide through Tuesday, which could prolong wet driving conditions across Corpus Christi, Portland, and surrounding communities in the Coastal Bend region.
Residents are encouraged to use caution on the roads, allow extra travel time, and avoid areas where water may collect.
