CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Following a Monday cold front, waves of upper-level instability will bring significant rain chances Tuesday, Friday and again next Monday.

The active pattern is being driven by a high amplitude jet stream that will induce rapid changes and strong, gusty wind, especially Tuesday through Thursday and again on Friday.

The breezes will result in slightly choppy to occasionally choppy bays and 3 to 5 foot seas.

Temperatures will remain near normal the first part of the week, with highs in the 60s to lower 70s and lows in the 40s and 50s. Late in the week, a powerful Pacific storm system will draw strong southeasterly flow across the region, with winds gusting over 30 mph pushing afternoon temperatures in the the upper 70s with overnights in the 60s.
