CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Happy Tuesday!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Cold front arrives Thursday

The first cold front of fall is headed our way! The front won't be very strong, but it will move all the way through the Coastal Bend. This is going to bring some much-needed rainfall to South Texas. Storms are expected to Wednesday after, and strong storms ahead of the front will begin to move into our northern neighborhoods around sunset. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast and have multiple ways to receive weather alerts in case storms become severe in your neighborhood.
