CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Howdy!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • 'Disrespectful winds' continue
  • A few light showers Thursday, mostly dry
  • Best rainfall: this weekend!

Oppressive & windy
Expect our neighborhoods to be windy all week. Winds will gust as high as 50 mph on Thursday and Friday, which is just a little bit more than what was observed on Wednesday. Everyone's designated trash day could become a game of 'find my trash bin'. Strong south-southeast winds will keep oppressive humidity in the forecast. Whether you enjoy it or not— that's a good thing!

Rain!
The 'big weather picture' continues to look favorable for a good drink of rain over much of Texas! A few bouts of drizzle are possible on Thursday, but the afternoon will be mostly rain-free. Eventually, bona fide rain will begin late Thursday night. This is all thanks to the high humidity and a 'wrinkle' of low pressure moving across the western U.S. This upper-level area of low pressure will send multiple rain chances our way, lasting into next week!
