CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Monday!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Less wind and more sunshine Tuesday
  • A light freeze is possible Wednesday morning
  • Much warmer temps to start the New Year!

Cold end to 2025
This week is off to a chilly start! Strong winds added to the cold temperatures and gave them an extra bite, but those are finally calming down. Clouds will part early Tuesday morning, but even with the afternoon sunshine, temperatures will still feel chilly for the rest of the current year. For inland neighborhoods, a light freeze is possible on Wednesday morning. Calm winds and clear skies on Tuesday night help temps drop to the coldest we've seen all season! Temperatures across some inland neighborhoods (generally west of HWY 77) could hover near freezing for a few hours.

Light freeze vs. Hard Freeze

New Year's warm-up
There is a big temperature swing on New Year's Day! Afternoon highs will reach the upper 70s on the first day of 2026. If you think that's a drastic change, Friday will be even warmer! Southwest winds will spike temperatures to the middle 80s across the Coastal Bend.
