CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Good morning!
UPDATE
Our weather has become much calmer versus the busy pre-dawn hours. There are lingering showers across the area but expect the rain to wind down as we head into the afternoon. Despite some sunshine this afternoon, temperatures will be limited to the upper 50s and lower 60s. This is due to the early morning cold front that has brought frigid air and strong winds. A Wind Advisory is in effect for our coastal communities until 1 p.m. Friday. A Gale Warning is in effect until 7 p.m. Friday for the bays, until 1 a.m. Saturday for the open waters.
Saturday will start in the 40s with increasing clouds. Expect scattered showers to begin during the early afternoon hours. In fact, Saturday evening's clouds will linger into Sunday and Monday with on and off showers. Our forecast should dry out and warm up to the 80s by midweek.
Have a safe, warm, and wonderful weekend!
