From coastal flooding to urban flooding caused by excessive rainfall, these weather phenomena pose risks to communities and infrastructure. Additionally, air quality alerts have been issued due to wildfire smoke, further emphasizing the importance of staying informed and taking necessary precautions.
In Corpus Christi, Texas, a Coastal Flood Advisory has been issued until 7 PM CDT for several coastal counties, including Aransas, Kleberg, Nueces, and San Patricio.
