CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — Good Evening, Coastal Bend! We had another warm day in our neighborhoods with high temperatures in the low 70s to low 80s.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Colder air is on the way to the Coastal Bend. Our next cold front arrives tonight, and temperatures will gradually drop overnight. Some neighborhoods will see and feel a more drastic temperature drop from highs in the 80s and lows in the 30s. Wednesday through Friday be the coldest days of the week, especially overnight into early mornings.

Later this evening, we will also have a wind direction shift from the SE to the N, ushering in colder, drier air. Throughout the day, some passing showers grazed our area and there is still a small opportunity to see more through the night, but it will be minimal. Wind speeds will increase tonight between 20-25 mph, near 40 mph with wind gusts.
