Corpus Christi, Texas – South Texans face another sweltering stretch Friday with highs between 100° and 106° inland and heat indices topping 110°, raising risks for heat-related illness. The National Weather Service in Corpus Christi warns the dangerous heat will linger through the weekend, with only slight relief as storm chances increase starting Sunday.
