CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Howdy!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • 'Disrespectful winds' continue
  • Showers ending

A cold front will pass over the Coastal Bend Wednesday morning. The pompous round of showers and storms early this morning was the bulk of our rain; aside from a few lingering showers, the forecast is dry! As for our temperature trend, the front will bring downslope winds this afternoon. These are winds that cause temps to soar behind a cold front. High on Wednesday afternoon will top out near 90ºF (closer to 80ºF along the coast).
