COLD FRONT: Big changes coming to the forecast this weekend

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Weekend!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Foggy morning
  • Morning showers possible
  • Disrespectful winds
  • Elevated fire danger this weekend

Fog and rain?
Fog— again. While the worst of it looks to occur before sunrise on Saturday morning, visibility will be reduced for some neighborhoods until noon. A marine Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 12 p.m. on Saturday. A few showers are possible, especially along the coast; other neighborhoods will likely be stuck with fog and mist. A cold front moves in Saturday morning to clear all the mugginess out, but the trade off is elevated fire danger. Highs will return to the low 80s , but Lows on Sunday morning will drop to the 40s!

Big changes
Before the front, conditions will be damp and muggy; after the front, fire danger and chilly mornings. The fire danger is top of mind as disrespectful winds gust to 30 mph, relative humidity plummets, and the vegetation in our neighborhoods remain crunchy. Please practice fire safety this weekend. Any sparks could lead to fires that will be difficult to control.
