CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — We’ll have to deal with a couple more days of hot and humid conditions over South Texas, before we start to feel a taste of fall by the end of the week.
That taste of fall will come in the form of a cold front, the first of the season. It is coming with a round of some scattered showers and storms, some drier air to follow and some slightly cooler temperatures. It is forecast to arrive late Tuesday night and into early Wednesday morning.
Along the frontal boundary, some of the storms will be accompanied by some heavy rainfall, lightning and strong winds. Once the front passes, a dry northerly wind will take over and push humidity out into the Gulf by late Wednesday morning and into the afternoon as sunshine takes over and clouds push out.
Morning temperatures Thursday through the weekend will start in the low to mid-60s. Afternoon highs will have lots of sunshine with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s. The dry air and dewpoints in the 50s and 60s will feel nice.
In the meantime, we’ll have to deal with the high humidity, sunshine and hot temperatures today with highs approaching 100 for many and heat indices around 105-110. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated!
