Sunday
Our cold front will pass through the Coastal Bend from 10 p.m. Saturday to 3 a.m. Sunday. The front will bring cool, very dry air. Expect winds to gust around 40 mph. All of this will lead to extreme fire danger! Please practice fire safety!! A Fire Weather Watch will be in effect from Sunday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Very windy conditions behind the front may also cause coastal flooding.
The big cool down
Still windy by Monday, we will be participating in winter on Monday morning. Temps take a big dip, with lows in the 40s and highs in the mid 60s on Monday. By Tuesday morning, some inland neighborhoods will be waking up in the upper 30s! A freeze is unlikely right now, but it will be colder than the last big cool-down!
