CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — Happy Friday!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

  • Still warm, humid and windy
  • Cold front moves in this weekend
  • Slight rain chances Saturday

Hot, humid, and windy conditions linger in the forecast. Once again, we start cloudy with increasing sunshine later in the day. Temperatures will increase towards the upper 80s to low 90s this afternoon, but feels-like temps will still reach the triple digits. Southeast winds will be clocking between 20 -25 mph with wind gusts up to 40 mph.

Rain chances are looking pretty slim, but passing showers are possible Saturday morning and overnight into Sunday.

If you're tired of the springtime summer weather, we have changes in the forecast for this weekend. Our next cold front will pass through South Texas Saturday night into Sunday morning, dropping temperatures well below average Sunday through Tuesday. By Wednesday, temps will return to seasonable. Dry air and strong north winds will remain in the forecast into next week after the cold front moves through the area so elevated fire danger concerns will return.
