CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — Happy Thursday,

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Breezy but lighter winds tomorrow
  • Moderate Fire danger tomorrow
  • Dry cold front this weekend returns us back to critical fire risk

While Fire danger was elevated today because of strong winds, fire danger heading into the weekend will vary but please continue to exercise caution.

Tomorrow winds will decrease and moisture and humidity will increase so fire risk will be in the moderate zone across the area. On Saturday, another dry cold front will pass through, leaving dangerously dry air in place & wind speeds will pick up to around 20 mph. Sunday, it will still be breezy and relative humidity will range between 10-25% so dry weather conditions will remain in the forecast.
