CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — A dynamic weather pattern with lots of changes is underway for the Coastal Bend, with a cool Friday morning yielding to increasing Gulf moisture ahead of a early-week cold front. There will be enough deep layer moisture ahead of the front to bring isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms Sunday and Monday. Additionally, those southeasterly winds may gust to 40 mph Sunday. Much cooler and drier air will follow and linger for the rest of the work week. Meanwhile, marine conditions will remain hazardous, with a Coastal Flood Advisory—now in effect through late Saturday night—likely to be extended through Monday. Along with the coastal flooding, rip current risk will be moderate Saturday and likely high Sunday and Monday.
Rainfall totals won't be especially beneficial, with most locales received less than 1/4 inch Sunday through Monday.
