CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Wednesday!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Breezy, but improving winds
  • Big warm-up: 90s on Thursday
  • Rain returns next week

A big warm-up is under way! With a humid evening ahead, temps will fall more gradually overnight. Humidity will remain low during the next couple of afternoons. This means fire danger is still a concern. Please be careful with any outdoor activities!

Dry air also means big temperature fluctuations. Temperatures will challenge high temp records for many Coastal Bend neighborhoods— some of those records were set back in 1917!

A Friday morning cold front will knock temps down a notch, with 80s expected through next week. By the middle of next week the weather pattern will be unsettled and a isolated showers can be expected starting Wednesday. It would be a great start to March if we saw a few rainy days!
