687 FXUS64 KCRP 172353 AFDCRP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Corpus Christi TX Issued by National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX 653 PM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025 ...New AVIATION... .KEY MESSAGES... Updated at 648 PM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025 - Moderate to major Risk of heat-realted impacts, decreasing to minor to moderate this weekend - Low to medium (25-45%) rain chances Thursday through the weekend && .DISCUSSION... Issued at 138 PM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025 Drier air will filter into the region the next couple of days to allow us to dry out and warm back up to near to slightly above normal temperatures. With the warmer temperatures returning, the risk of heat-related impacts will once again increase. With heat index values expected to range from 105-111 degrees Wednesday and Thursday, there will be a moderate to major risk of heat-related impacts. As we head into the end of the workweek and the weekend, the heat risk will decrease to minor to moderate with the expected cloud cover and possible rain chances. As we head into the weekend, a tropical wave could increase moisture into the region promoting low to medium rain chances. Confidence remains low on the actual outcome of where this feature will track, so our extended forecast continues to have high uncertainty. If this feature does track further north, we can see increased rain chances in the 40-60% range. && .AVIATION... (00Z TAFS) Issued at 648 PM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025 VFR conditions will generally prevail through the cycle at area terminals.

Otherwise, expect winds to remain elevated through late this evening, before weakening to around 10-12 knots overnight.
